A troglobite is an
animal that lives entirely in the dark parts of
caves. Such creatures have become specifically adapted for life in total darkness and over time they have evolved to develop improved senses of smell, taste and vibration detection, while losing anatomical features that are superfluous without light, such as functioning
eyes and
pigmentation. Specific examples include the
blind cave fish and
cave crickets; there are numerous
fish,
shrimp,
crayfish, eyeless flatworm,
pseudoscorpions, spiders, millipedes, and other
insects with this property. Troglobites are often endemic to a certain site, having adapted to its particular environment and food sources. True troglobites are eyeless. Troglophiles have some sight.
