40 strange Cave Discoveries that are hard to be explained

 Baja Spider

Spiders can be really creepy and the most dangerous of them are known to be found in hot deserts, dense woods or in this case deep caves. This creature is found in dark caves of places like the Sierra Cacachila mountain ranges and is one of the most venomous species to be discovered.

By the looks of it, it remains one of the most creepy things you could see. Black, too large to be a spider and of course its venom. Every feature that it carries is well enough to freak any sane human out.

Olm Salamander

There might be creepy and dangerous creatures like the Baja Spider or the world’s longest snake lurking around in some deserted cave but sometimes we find certain things that attract us with their beauty and we wonder if we have seen all the magnificent things in the world. One such creature is the Olm Salamander found in the deep underwater caves of Slovenia and Croatia.

This little aquatic wonder uses electro-sensation to understand its underwater surroundings and just like the blind fish we discussed earlier, this too is visually impaired. Another thing that is wonderful about it is that it can live up to 100 years and unlike other aquatic creatures this one does not shed its original gills until its death.

The Poisonous Caves Of Romania: Part 1

Now, these are places you should never plan on visiting. Apart from the Black Sea, Wolves and Vampires, one thing that Romania is famous for are caves that are too poisonous for humans to visit. These caves have been abandoned for more than 5.5 million years and all these years, life inside these caves have evolved in strange ways.

These unhospitable caves are a host to several breeds of poisonous spiders, snakes, and other reptiles. The cave was named as Movile Cave and also has a lake towards its end which smells of rotten eggs and burnt sulfur.

Going deeper into the cave can be both dangerous and difficult. To move further one needs to plunge deep into the darkness of the poisonous waters. The struggle does not end here, the further you move down, the lesser the amount of O2. And at a place already full of poisonous gases, lack of oxygen is the last thing you can dream of.

The human body can only survive for a couple of hours in these Romanian depths. The question that might strike your mind now is; Why go beyond your limits to explore a smelly, creepy cave?

The answer: The deeper we move inside, the greater the number of life forms and creatures that have adapted to these depths.

Sunlight has never found its way down here so the inhabitants have adapted to an ecosystem that functions without the sunrays. Imagine how difficult it would for us down there? The bacterias in here, break down chemicals in the air to get their carbon dioxide and survive.

In these depths, it is impossible for human beings to survive but the explorations carry on and who knows what we might find buried deep in these caves. 

 Snottite

It is gluey and tacky and one would surely want to stay away. It is a layer of single-celled bacteria sticking to the ceiling hanging down waiting for the next flying insect to be trapped. This substance was first noticed in a cave in Tabasco, Mexico.

It is known to thrive in extreme environmental conditions, temperatures or atmosphere where people like you or me would certainly not exist.
