A species of cavefish in Thailand has been documented walking and climbing waterfalls in a manner similar to four-footed creatures such as salamanders, in a find researchers call “huge” in evolutionary terms. In a new study published in the journal Nature Scientific Reports, New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) scientists describe the behavior in the blind, walking cavefish Cryptotora thamicola.

Interesting.  Thanks Dexter.

Also would like to say that I think you are one of the most decent people in this forum.  You never lose your cool and you remain above the fray, no matter what is going on around you.  I believe you are an open-minded person.  I appreciate that.
