Sticky Cave

There’s a particular substance called Snottite that grows in a special cave in Tabasco, Mexico. This substance is particularly sticky and viscous, which coats the inner walls of the cave. It’s so sticky that it’s able to capture flying insects along with them. What makes this substance extremely queer is that the cave makes it near-uninhabitable for any other living organism except this. The Snottite is extremophilic in this scenario, which defines organisms that can thrive even in inhospitable environments.

In another case of extremophiles, this specific cave of Monfort Bat Sanctuary makes it unlivable for most living organisms except tiny bats. This sanctuary was listed in the 2010 Guinness World Records as a significant landmark for bat-lovers. There’s also a specific cave in the Philippines where approximately 2.3 million tiny bats are flying around throughout its deep walls- and reports state that this is the biggest group of bats anywhere on the planet.
