There's a worm that can live a mile underground; this 'Devil Worm' was found in an aquifer and is the deepest animal that's been found living beneath the surface of the Earth. Researchers at American ...

Traveling 4,600 feet underground into the tunnels of South Africa's Beatrix Gold Mine is not for the faint of heart. The only light comes from headlamps, casting only enough light to show the ground a ...

When scientists discovered a worm deep in an aquifer nearly one mile underground, they hailed it as the discovery of the deepest-living animal ever found. Now American University researchers, ...
