Life Underground

wooden building set into the hillside with large opening covered in greenery

A single handful of healthy topsoil can hold more living organisms than there are people on Earth. In Life Underground, meet ants and earthworms up close, peer at tiny soil animals through a microscope, and crawl through a human‑size chipmunk burrow. Learn how soil forms, which creatures help create and aerate it, and what adaptations animals need to survive beneath our feet.
