Exploring a huge cave system is an adventurous experience unlike any other, whether it’s the glowworm-filled Waitomo Cave system in New Zealand or the surreal underwater labyrinth of The Pit off the coast of Mexico. You would, however, probably not expect to encounter a 1.4-meter-long (4.6-foot-long) gigantic salamander in the process.
