Brian Cox Finds Life in a Toxic Cave | Wonders Of The Solar System | BBC Earth Science

Venturing deep underground in the Cueva de Villa Luz (cave of the house of light) in Mexico, professor Brian Cox investigates the extremophilic bacteria that hang from the walls of the cave - the Hydogren Sulphide chemosynthesising Snottities.
If there is life on Mars, could it be similarly as primitive and hidden beneath the surface of the Red Planet as this bacteria?

Well this was interesting.

I wish this young man would take over Neil deGrasse Tyson as a spoke person for the science community. Always love this person look at life. I know my comment is negative. But I do like the respect he shows.

I've seen those snotites on Planet Earth. I've heard that if their snot drips onto your hand, it will burn your skin.
