A troglobite (or, formally, troglobiont) is an animal species, or population of a species, strictly bound to underground habitats, such as caves.These are separate from species that mainly live in above-ground habitats but are also able to live underground (eutroglophiles), and species that are only cave visitors (subtroglophiles and trogloxenes).

The Woodville Karst Plain is a 450-square-mile (1,200 km 2) karst area that runs from Tallahassee, Florida, U.S. to the Gulf of Mexico separated by the Cody Scarp.. This karst plain contains the Wakulla-Leon Sinks Cave System, the longest surveyed underwater cave in the United States, extending 32 miles (51 km) and ranking #57 among the top 100 longest caves in the world.

The Woodville Karst Plain Project or WKPP, is a project and organization that maps the underwater cave systems underlying the Woodville Karst Plain.This plain is a 450-square-mile (1,200 km 2) area that runs from Tallahassee, Florida, U.S. to the Gulf of Mexico and includes numerous first magnitude springs, including Wakulla Springs, and the Leon Sinks Cave System, the longest underwater cave ...
No land animals were present in Florida prior to the Miocene. The largest deposits of rock phosphate in the United States are found in Florida.

Cave dwelling animals show different levels of adaptations to underground environment. According to a recent classification, animals living in terrestrial subterranean habitats can be classified into 3 categories, based on their ecology: troglobionts (or troglobites): species strongly bound to subterranean habitats;
