ScienceNewly discovered ‘demon cave fish’ hid out in Alabama military installation for 40 years
“You’re stooped to hands and knees, crawling, and depending on the water level, you could be in neck-deep,” says Matthew L. Niemiller, a cave biologist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Despite this scrutiny, the demon cave fish was discovered only recently and completely by chance. This fish had a humped back and a slightly duckbilled snout, and, unlike the slightly more colorful Southern cave fish already known to inhabit the system, it was so ghostly white it looked blue under their headlamps.
