Life in the cave has been separated from the outside for the past 5.5 million years...
and
The most recent animal recorded is the cave's only species of snail, which has inhabited the cave for slightly more than 2 million years.
Which is it? – Anne drew 19:58, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The answer is both. The article states 57 species currently live in the cave. They did not all arrive at the same time. Life first evolved there 5.5 million years ago. Two million years ago the most recent animal evolved or entered the cave. CougarTwoLegs (talk) 22:24, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi CougarTwoLegs. Thanks for your explanation, but the contradiction is not solved: "separated from the outside for the past 5.5 million years" means: no access for new species after that, i.e. not possible for any animal, snail or not, to enter 2Mya. Nonsensical. So Anne drew Andrew and Drew's question still stands. Arminden (talk) 12:52, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
