Yellowstone's Secret Wilderness Yellowstone National Park holds many of natures wonders. But one of its wonders cant be seen by the naked eye. It's a world that bubbles with life so tiny, it can only be seen with a microscope. Some scientists believe this ancient wilderness, hiding in the mud around the hot springs and geysers in Yellowstone, contains the answers to unsolved mysteries. Right now scientists from large chemical and oil companies are taking samples of the water and steaming mud from around the hot springs of Yellowstone.
Enzymes are proteins that spark a chemical reaction.
That's when one thing changes into another or breaks a chemical bond with another, like when the enzymes are used to take paint off airplanes. It breaks the bond between the paint and the plane. The best part about these prehistoric enzymes is that they throw off harmful toxins and don't get used up in the process. That means they can be used over and over again. These primitive enzymes have been living in a muddy, microscopic wilderness that bubbled up from the center of the earth millions of years ago.
