Scientists Find 33 Creatures Living In A Cave That Was Sealed Off For 5 Million Years

After 5 million years of total isolation from the world, what do you think you’d find inside a totally sealed off cave? Dinosaurs? Prehistoric bugs? Evidence of alien life? No one knew until Dr. Christian Lascu finally opened up Movile cave in Romania.

Some creatures are just so adaptable and so different from humans that they can survive in areas where we’d never dream of living!

It actually has five arms, which are each split into more dexterous 'branchlets', which it uses to catch prey underwater.
