So scientists recently unearthed this cave:

Estimated at 5MILLION years old!
They found all kinds of life but i want to know…
Why is it all bugs? Why is there not larger life forms in this cave?
I also want to proactively counter the idea of “no sunlight to sustain growth via food chain or metabolism”, because in the deep ocean there is also no light, yet we have giant squids, fish, and mega worms…
So why is there no “cave creatures” of comparable size??
In: Biology
In the deep oceans dead creatures that were part of the sunlight food chain drift down from above and provide a constant new source of energy. From what I read the cavern is sustained by chemosynthetic creatures and really does lack the energy for much larger lifeforms.
