Code:
"In deep seas there are animals that give light.
 Would it not be probably so there are similar ' life 
forms 'in caves as well?"

Well that depends, BranShea. How flexible are your
 semantic parameters for a Hodag? 

 Thirty years ago I was wading through Gross-Skeleton Cave
 when my carbide light suddenly  went out.
But before I could curse my fate I said "Wow!". 
All around me were hundreds of tiny lights,
 blinking on and off. I was  King Kong standing 
tall but bewildered in a well-lit big city.
 I tried to get a  close look at one of these
 little lights, but as I approached, each 
 would blink off.

  What I saw was, of course, an example 
of bioluminescence; hundreds of little gnat
 sized creatures washed in from the forest outside,
 each blinking  his own light. 
                    
And such a pretty blue-green light.
    
            Back with more in a minute.
