In this episode of Wildly Curious (formerly For the Love of Nature), co-hosts Katy Reiss and Laura Fawks Lapole kick off their mini-series on caves by exploring one of the most isolated and unique caves on Earth—Movile Cave in Romania. Discovered in 1986, this cave has been sealed off from the outside world for over 5 million years. Learn how this strange, oxygen-poor environment supports life in ways similar to deep-sea ecosystems, including the bizarre species that have evolved to survive in total darkness. From chemosynthesis to creepy crawlers, this episode reveals the secrets of life hidden beneath the Earth's surface.
Perfect for cave enthusiasts, science lovers, and anyone fascinated by the mysteries of Earth’s hidden ecosystems.
