There are three life zones in caves and caverns:
|
| |
- Entrance Zone- receives some light from the outside. Some animals occasionally enter the caves but are not permanent residents. These animals are called "trogloxenes."
- Twilight Zone- located just beyond the Entrance Zone and before the Dark Zone. Animals that live here spend part of their lives in the caves but go outside to seek food. These inhabitants are known as "troglophiles."
- Dark Zone- Part of the caves not reached by natural light. Permanent cave dwellers are called "troglobites."
Below is a list of "Cave Life." Find each of these animals by first deciding if they are trogloxenes, troglophiles or troglobites. Then, search to find the words in the Life Zone Puzzle they belong in. (What other Cave Words can you find?)
