And full-bosomed Venusians they are, too! All the better for the interbreeding program, I expect. Exi'll be first in line...

I'm not sure about the temperatures on Venus, but we do know that there are organisms that can survive to extremes of temperature, called extreme thermophiles.

haha, they can survive at close to 90'C. The thing with Venus is that the surface temperature (468'C or so) would seem to me to be too high for sustaining life of any kind (proteins and DNA would both denature, as we know them) but there could be a possibility of life existing in the upper layers of the atmosphere, given that it is one that is of Carbon Dioxide (anoxygenic photosynthesis could theoretically occur) and the proximity to the sun.
