HELP ME!!! HOW DOES THE HIGH BOILING POINT OF WATER HELP ANIMALS THAT LIVE IN THE WATER? 
This isn’t homework, by any chance…
It keeps their innards from boiling dry on hot days.
It also permits fish to evolve fins that are optimized for liquid environments, as opposed to needing fin-wings in order to prevent deadly plunges when their lake suddenly flashes into vapor.
Seriously, the ‘right’ answer to this must be in the book or syllabus or something. It’s too silly a question to stand on it’s own, without context.
And why does it need to be SHOUTED?
I would not say it is the high boiling point, but rather the large thermal capacity of water that helps animals survive. Water can take in insane amounts of thermal energy with little increase in its temperature.

WE MUST LEARN THE STRANGE WAYS OF YOUR PLANET TO ENABLE OUR CONQUEST OF IT! QUAKE IN TERROR EARTH-MEN FOR YOUR FISH SHALL SOON BE AT OUR MERCY.
EDIT: Hey, what happened to my all-caps?

Ok, don’t panic. First, do you see or smell any melted butter anywhere near you?

I can see why the shift key might be a problem.
The same reason that the low freezing point of water helps animals that live in the water.

What gave it away?
What high boiling point? Tungsten boils at 10,214[sup]o[/sup]F. Now, that’s a high boiling point!
I, for one, welcome our new crustacean overlords.

Depends. How dense do you want to admit to being?

Ensures even cooking throughout. It’d get flaky otherwise.

I’ve never really tried to set an upper limit on it.
