💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐛🕳️ A single devil worm (Halicephalobus mephisto) found 1.3 km deep in a South African #gold mine rewrote what scientists thought possible for #animal #life.
Researchers have since studied its heat-resistant #proteins and temperature-dependent #energy system. The #worm survives without sunlight or #oxygen, sustained by deep subsurface #bacteria that may have been isolated for hundreds of millions of years.
