| New Life Form Found in Caverns of the Grand Canyon
Tens of thousand of people walk through the Grand Canyon caverns every year, but very few come here, past where the general public is allowed, and it's an area that may hold a brand new life form. These tight passageways were formed millions of years ago and were never seen by human eyes until a group of underground explores dug their way through and found something nobody expected. It is no easy task moving through here, and in some instances, there isn't room to crawl. We are hundreds of feet underground, and it's not hard to think about something like a cave in or earthquake. We are covered in dirt and sweat, but it's all worth it as we come to the end of the passage. There is something alive deep in the cave. There is no water down here, no light, so how is this formation of bright yellow and purple organisms living? What is it? What is it eating? If we could unlock its secrets, how could it possibly help mankind? Bradley Lusk is a biotechnology student at Arizona State University.
