The scientific study of organisms that live in caves and the unique biological processes occurring in cave ecosystems.
From 'bio-' (life) + 'speleology' (study of caves, from Greek 'spelaion'). This specialized field combines biology with cave science to understand life in lightless underground environments.
Cave creatures have evolved some of the wildest adaptations—blind fish with functioning ears, colorless skin, and the ability to survive on almost nothing—making caves a living laboratory for understanding how life adapts when normal resources completely disappear!
