Blind fish turn up in the Indian Ocean

A pair of eyeless, cave-dwelling fish species, separated millions of years ago, have turned up on either side of the Indian ocean.

A study published in Plos One showed that blind Madagascan and Australian cave fish share a common ancestor.

Their forebears probably lived in caves on the prehistoric southern super-continent Gondwanaland.

Then continental drift tore this family apart-transporting them to their current locations.
