What type/How would a creature live on Uranus?
964969
Any life form as we know it could never live on Uranus. Of course, I think it's a bit arrogant and short-sighted to think that we know any and all forms that life can take. After all, life exists at the bottom of oceans where it was once thought living organisms could never survive. We have such a small perspective so far that there could be many forms of life that we can't currently imagine. Only time will tell.

Uranus is distinguished by the fact that it is tipped on its side. Its unusual position is thought to be the result of a collision with a planet-sized body early in the solar system's history. Tilt of axis (degrees)97.86 \n\n1. The rotation of Uranus(7th planet, rotation 84 earth years, 2.87 billion Km from Sun) is retrograde, contrary to the rest of the known rotations. \n2. The rotation of Uranus' four moons is also retrograde. \n\n3. The orbits of Uranus' moons are at a sharp angle (82 degrees) with the orbital plane of the planets. \n    ( undue inclination of a primary to the ecliptic)\n4. The plane of Uranus' equator is also 82 degrees and coincides with the plane of its moons.\n    (large disco-ordination between the inclinations of primary and satellite)\n (Also marked divergence from Bode's Law)\n(Uranus receives 390 times less light than our Earth)\nMechanically, therefore, Uranus and its moons present the perfect picture of a little solar system whose motions are all in the opposite direction from ours. \n\n It may be considered logical to suppose that a foreign element is involved, May be the distance from the Sun is responsible and presence of any other star or celestial bodies

Starfish live on the bottom, in shallow and deep water.\n\nGiant tube worms have been found at great depths on the bottom.  Also crabs.\n\nSome jellyfish also live very deep where there is no light.

No mammal can 'survive' without oxygen.\n\nThey can survive without breathing for a while though.\n\nI imagine a sperm whale, about 90 mins

Animals live everywhere on Earth. Some places on Earth are very hot and some are very cold. Some places on Earth have a lot of water and plants, and other places have very little water and few plants. Antarctica is covered with snow and ice and has no plants. It is very cold there, too. Guess what? Animals even live in Antarctica!\n\nAnimals can live in many different places in the world because they have special adaptations to the area they live in. An adaptation is a way an animal's body helps it survive, or live, in its environment. Camels have learned to adapt (or change) so that they can survive.\n\nAnimals depend on their physical features to help them obtain food, keep safe, build homes, withstand weather, and attract mates. These physical features are called called physical adaptations. They makes it possible for the animal to live in a particular place and in a particular way. Each adaptation has been produced by evolution. This means that the adaptations have developed over many generations. The shape of a bird's beak, the number of fingers, colour of the fur, the thickness or thinness of the fur, the shape of the nose or ears are all examples of physical adaptations which help different animals to survive.

You are right.  Neptune and Uranus have only been visited by Voyager 2.  Jupiter and Saturn have been visited by multiple probes however.

Hmm lets see... an amphibian is cold blooded....  (think lizards and crocodiles), so the best answer here is probably a heated chair.  Amphibian would be likely to want to sit on something warm.\n\nA heated rock chair?  THey like sitting on rocks!  lol  good luck

most likely fish, or another animal that lives in water, perhaps an early reptile

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and the third largest (by diameter). Uranus is larger in diameter but smaller in mass than Neptune. \n\n        orbit:    2,870,990,000 km (19.218 AU) from Sun\n        diameter: 51,118 km (equatorial)\n        mass:     8.683e25 kg\n\n\nHardcopy The New Solar System \nSummarizes what we've learned from interplanetary explorations in the last 25 years. My primary reference for The Nine Planets. \n\nThe Compact NASA Atlas of the Solar System \nThis 'road map' of the solar system is the definitive guide for planetary science. \n\nThe Tempest \nby William Shakespeare \n\nThe Rape of the Lock \nby Alexander Pope \nCareful pronunciation may be necessary to avoid embarrassment; say "YOOR a nus" , not "your anus" or "urine us". \n\nUranus is the ancient Greek deity of the Heavens, the earliest supreme god. Uranus was the son and mate of Gaia the father of Cronus (Saturn) and of the Cyclopes and Titans (predecessors of the Olympian gods). \n\nUranus, the first planet discovered in modern times, was discovered by William Herschel while systematically searching the sky with his telescope on March 13, 1781. It had actually been seen many times before but ignored as simply another star (the earliest recorded sighting was in 1690 when John Flamsteed cataloged it as 34 Tauri). Herschel named it "the Georgium Sidus" (the Georgian Planet) in honor of his patron, the infamous (to Americans) King George III of England; others called it "Herschel". The name "Uranus" was first proposed by Bode in conformity with the other planetary names from classical mythology but didn't come into common use until 1850. \n\nUranus has been visited by only one spacecraft, Voyager 2 on Jan 24 1986. \n\n Most of the planets spin on an axis nearly perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic but Uranus' axis is almost parallel to the ecliptic. At the time of Voyager 2's passage, Uranus' south pole was pointed almost directly at the Sun. This results in the odd fact that Uranus' polar regions receive more energy input from the Sun than do its equatorial regions. Uranus is nevertheless hotter at its equator than at its poles. The mechanism underlying this is unknown. \n\nActually, there's an ongoing battle over which of Uranus' poles is its north pole! Either its axial inclination is a bit over 90 degrees and its rotation is direct, or it's a bit less than 90 degrees and the rotation is retrograde. The problem is that you need to draw a dividing line *somewhere*, because in a case like Venus there is little dispute that the rotation is indeed retrograde (not a direct rotation with an inclination of nearly 180). \n\nUranus is composed primarily of rock and various ices, with only about 15% hydrogen and a little helium (in contrast to Jupiter and Saturn which are mostly hydrogen). Uranus (and Neptune) are in many ways similar to the cores of Jupiter and Saturn minus the massive liquid metallic hydrogen envelope. It appears that Uranus does not have a rocky core like Jupiter and Saturn but rather that its material is more or less uniformly distributed. \n\nUranus' atmosphere is about 83% hydrogen, 15% helium and 2% methane. \n\n Like the other gas planets, Uranus has bands of clouds that blow around  rapidly. But they are extremely faint, visible only with radical image enhancement of the Voyager 2 pictures (right). Recent observations with HST (left) show larger and more pronounced streaks. Further HST observations show even more activity. Uranus is no longer the bland boring planet that Voyager saw! It now seems clear that the differences are due to seasonal effects since the Sun is now at a lower Uranian latitude which may cause more pronounced day/night weather effects. By 2007 the Sun will be directly over Uranus's equator. \n\nUranus' blue color is the result of absorption of red light by methane in the upper a

Most sea monsters like Loc Ness are only myths that started long ago to explain odd happenings. But there are lagre creature that do ocupy the ocean and other deep bodies of waters. There are Giant Squids (Architeuthis dux)and other creatures that have adapted to live deep in the oceans. Usually the can live in high pressure and low light conditions and are generally not too cute looking in you are interested you could try this web site http://www.extremescience.com/deepcreat.htm

We know that Earth has life on it so that is the most likely.\n\nMars is also a possibility although I would not expect the life to be alive when we get there (but it might be possible for us to thaw it out) due to the apparent lack of water and the atmosphere being a bit too thin.\n\nEuropa might have life under the ice in a liquid water layer.  It would seem to be big enough for life to evolve and the materials that are needed for life would actually be able to exist in forms that life could use along with the tidal heating from Jupiter.  This is probably the most likely place to have life but it isn't a planet.\n\nTitan has a rather thick atmosphere and organics so it looks like a candidate although it is a bit cold and doesn't have any liquid water (though hydrocarbons might be able to substitute) so a different biochemistry might be needed.  Of course this isn't a planet so it doesn't actually answer the question.

Just a quick thought here that may help you.  Under "cold blooded" - or ectothermic - we understand an organism that does not produce a relatively constant body core temperature by means of metabolitic activity etc., but rather regulates its temperature by shutteling between warmer and coller areas.  It takes on the temperature of its environment.  That would be detrimental in case of an animal living in antarctic conditions.  A penguin's blood would freeze, there would be crystalization, and the cells would eventually burst.  In other words, the penguin would be a very cold toast.\n\nNow, there are however ectothermic organisms in arctic and antarctic oceans, which maintain blood flow by using a chemcial anti-freeze.  This has been found, for example in some fishes (the plural is allowed here, since we aretalking about more than one species).  But penguins don't have anything like that and do not need it.  As others have mentioned above, they are very well insulated endotherms (maintain a relatively stable core temperature).\n\nHope this helps in addition to the other answers.
