Carnivorus in mars

[alokmohan]

Images taken by a Mars-orbiting spacecraft show what appear to be cave entrances on the Red Planet. By sheltering organisms from such hazards as ultraviolet radiation and micrometeoroid bombardment, caves "could be among the only places on Mars to find evidence of past or present microbial life," says Glen Cushing of the U.S. Geological Survey in Flagstaff, Ariz. <br /><br /> <br />HIDEAWAYS? The small, dark, circular feature in this Martian image could be the skylight of a cave. Larger, lighter circles are craters.<br />Cushing, et al., NASA<br /> <br /><br />He and his colleagues identified seven possible skylight entrances to caverns in pictures recorded by a visible-light-and-infrared camera on the Mars Odyssey spacecraft. They presented the findings in March at the annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Houston. <br /><br />The dark, circular structures, 100 to http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20070414/note10.asp<br />

Are you suggesting there is a food chain in these caverns that includes Carn-i-vor-us animals at the top? Or did you just misspell Cav-er-nous? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#993300"><span class="body"><font size="2" color="#3366ff"><div align="center">. </div><div align="center">Never roll in the mud with a pig.

I agree with Derek, we have no idea what might dwell in the caves of other planets <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Techies: We do it in the dark. </font></strong></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>"Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour.
