This is possibly one of the most amazing biological discoveries of our time. Biologists have discovered the oldest species of eel in existence in a 60-70 million year old cave on the ocean floor in the Pacific island nation of Palau. The species is confirmed to be 200 million years old, meaning it has lived undisturbed on the planet since before dinosaurs even existed. They even video tapped it.

Pretty amazing

While a 200 million year old eel is pretty cool, I don't really think it's a candidate for one of the most amazing discoveries.

How long is 200 million years in perspective?

I think you meant "This is possibly one of the most amazing discoveries of our time so far." and even then this isn't all that impressive.

Perhaps I should have clarified it as one of the "most amazing biological discoveries." Sorry about that. I didn't intend to leave it vaguely implied.

One more evidence why the gays are more evolutionally advanced in terms of survival.

I saw the vid, it looked awesome!;
the fact that there is still life that is unknown to us on our earth show's how amazing this planet is.
