Bizarre fish species, but the analysis of its survival is fascinating:

Protecting cave species means protecting more than the cave opening itself.

"When we think about conserving a species like this, it is not enough to protect the cave," Armbruster said. "We have to protect the land around it, because that land is the recharge basin for the cave and the aquifer."

In this case, the fish may have benefited from an unlikely form of protection. Bobcat Cave sits on Redstone Arsenal, a federal installation that has limited development in parts of the landscape even as Huntsville has grown around it.
