The living beings are so adaptative in any environment, also at the deepest places of the Earth. A prove of that is that an hispanic-russian investigation team has discovered another specie of arthropod in a cave of more of 2.000 meters depth. It’s the deepest cave in the world, in Georgia.
The discovered specie, Plutomurus ortobalaganensis, should have been separed from its kind one million years ago, and then it began to get adapted to its new environment. Without light, their eyes disappeared and its antennas grew up and so it can touch its environment and the chemical signs. Its colour also has disappeared, it’s transparent.
Their size is 6 mm maximum, and they live between the rocks, and their last part of the body is adapted to jump large distances. The scientists can’t explain how these little animals can feed themselves yet, because they haven’t discovered any organism to produce their own feed.
