New Cave Fish Discovered in Meghalaya, India

Scientists in Meghalaya discovered a new type of fish called Schistura densiclava that lives in caves but can also survive in streams above ground.

This fish, which has a pale yellow-green body with dark bars, was found in a cave called Krem Mawjymbuin.

Unlike some other cave fish, it still has color and can see.

The fish was found in a cool stream inside the cave and is adapted to the dark.

The new species is the sixth cave-dwelling fish found in Meghalaya.

Krem Mawjymbuin is known for a Shivalinga-like structure that has led to local debates.
