- daveslash 5y agoWell then - I have "another fantastic insect survival story" for ya. Movile Cave in Romania. "Discovered in 1986, it is notable for its unique groundwater ecosystem abundant in hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, but low in oxygen. Life in the cave has been separated from the outside for the past 5.5 million years and it is based completely on chemosynthesis rather than photosynthesis. The cave is known to contain 57 animal species. Of these, 37 are endemic" ~Wikipedia. https://geoera.eu/blog/movile-cave-romania/ https://geoera.eu/blog/movile-cave-romania/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movile_Cave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movile_Cave
