- In the deep, dark caves of Meghalaya, a new cave fish, presumably the largest in the world, has been discovered.
- The creature is basically blind and eyeless, though it has some ability to sense light.
- The subterranean fish was found in a small underground cavity in Um Ladaw Cave, more than 300 feet below the surface in East Khasi Hills.
- Initial investigations indicate it is a close anatomical match to tor putitora but differs in its depigmentation, lack of eyes and in its subterranean habitat.
