Many of the discovered animals feed on micro-algae, but plants or algae do not live in the environment, so the animals likely eat algae carried underneath the ice shelf by currents." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Scientists find unexpected trove of life forms beneath Antarctic ice shelf" } ]
