O.K., "They gnosh down cave explorers like hyenas at KFC" is going to have to be my favorite quote for the day.

Despite the fact that they are soooooooo cave-adapted, all of the critters have plenty of pignment, high metabolisms (they gnosh down cave explorers like hyenas at KFC), compact bodies without attenuated limbs or antennae. The cave ecosystem, as identified by the the team biologists, consists of white algae, giant cave moles, scary eels, scorpions, and bat-men. There is mention of a salamander but they must have edited that scene since they never show it. Pity, since salamanders, i.e. Proteus, are the only members of the critter cast that actually occur in the area and are true monsters, once thought to be dragon larvae....
