Researchers found Chinquipellobunus madlae, an orange cave-adapted, spider-looking creature, according to Natural Bridge Caverns. Hundreds of different types of snails were collected and sent to Dr. Kathryn Perez, an aquatic snails expert at UT Rio Grande Valley. Two other organisms uncovered were groundwater crustaceans, a circolanid isopod, and an amphipod. Both are small shrimp-like creatures without eyes, according to Natural Bridge Caverns.On Aug. 6, another Natural Bridge Caverns biological survey expedition will take place. It will be focused on a continuation of developing a better understanding of the unique ecosystem that makes up the caverns.
