New Snail Species Discovered In Croatia's Deepest Cave 34
minty3 writes "The new snail species, Zospeum tholussum, has no eyes or pigmentation on its shell and is considered to be a true eutroglobiont or cave-dweller. It was found by a team of cavers and biologists from the Croatian Biospeleological Society. While on an expedition to determine the cave’s depth, they collected animal specimens including one of the previously unidentified snails along with eight of its empty shells."
Truly true? (Score:5, Informative)
That's tautology - "eutroglobiont" means "true cave dwelling organism" - the "eu" prefix means "true".
