This is pretty amazing. There is still so much we don't know about our planet.

With Sequia National Park having some of the oldest trees in the WORLD. Man, those suckers are HUGE. It doesn't surprise me one bit that there are still some unique critters running around in some of those cave systems.

Cool!

Don't worry. We will drive them to extinction soon enough!

A very intersting find. So much still to learn about planet Earth.

That is totally facinating. I would have loved to see pictures of those caves. Maybe the National Geographic is going to do an article on them.
