Blind Shrimp Ecosystem and Adaptations

The video explores the unique adaptations of blind shrimp and their habitat in a sunless cave in Madagascar. These shrimp have evolved without eyes, relying on their sensitive antennae to find food. Their main predator is the blind cave fish, another creature that has adapted to the dark environment by losing its sight. Both species are examples of evolutionary adaptations to a specific, isolated ecosystem.
