Eight previously unknown invertebrate creatures have been discovered in an underground cave in central Israel.
The largest is a white shrimp-like crustacean. Another resembles a species of scorpion and is blind.
The cave was uncovered during drilling at a quarry close to Tel Aviv.
Scientists say it is a unique ecosystem that has been sealed off from the world for five million years and could contain other ancient lifeforms.
