Niemiller said. He called finding a new freshwater fish genus in eastern North America \u201ca little like finding a new kind of big cat.\u201d The discovery is particularly striking because the cave has been monitored at least quarterly for more than 30 years. Researchers named the new genus Demogorgonichthys arcanus\u2014a reference to the mythical \u201cDemogorgon\u201d from <i>Dungeons &amp; Dragons<\/i> and <i>Stranger Things<\/i>, with arcanus meaning \u201chidden\u201d or \u201csecret.\u201d The fish evolved its lack of eyes and pigment independently from the Southern Cavefish, which also lives in Bobcat Cave. \u201cThis is the part I find most remarkable,\u201d Niemiller said, adding that the Demogorgonichthys arcanus \u201cfound its own separate way into the underground world and lost its eyes and pigment independently, millions of years apart.\u201d Niemiller added: \u201cThe \u2018Demon Cavefish\u2019 is a reminder that our inventories are far from finished, even in well-explored places.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5490\">Passenger Jet Declares Scary Emergency in Severe Thunderstorms<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read it at <span>The New York Post<\/span><\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists have discovered a bizarre new \u201cdemon cavefish\u201d species beneath a heavily monitored U.S. Army base in Alabama.
