Another discovery in the cave of crystals is that there was "Weird life" found in these trapped in the underground crystals according to a NASA researcher. The creatures live off of Iron, Sulfur and other chemicals that are with in the cave. Regardless of the harsh conditions according to researchers have said that the organisms are still currently active even though they have been there for ten and thousands of years.
