Answer
Animals explore different environments to find a suitable home, and some develop special traits to live in a unique environment, while others divide their time between two separate environments or spend their entire life underground or on the surface. Cave critters are called trogloxenes and have no special adaptations to the cave environment, but must go to the surface or to the cave to survive.
