Movile Cave is one of Earth's most unusual ecosystems and had been completely sealed for more than 5.5 million years. The cave is populated with invertebrates that have adapted - through a process called troglomorphy - to their underground prison. They have done this by losing pigmentation, learning to navigate blind, and surviving on bacteria and fungi that derive energy from the sulfide hot springs beneath the cave.
