Olm (Proteus anguinus), family Proteidae, far NW Italy
This aquatic salamander is neotenic/paedomorphic (retaining juvenile traits - ie. gills and other aquatic adaptations)
Found only in karst rock cave systems with ample water in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia Hercegovina, and far NW Italy.
Also called the "human fish", proteus, and white cave salamander.
Olms are blind, but have excellent sense of smell and hearing (for a salamander).

Please consider: olms
The olm is a cave-dwelling salamander from the Alps! It can live up to a hundred years! It uses electrosensitivity and other senses to find food because it has no functional eyes! It grows around 6”-12” long! It can go without food for six years! It’s basically a real life water dragon!
[ID: an illustration of two olms, long white and pink salamanders, curled into a figure-eight shape, with a background resembling moss in dark water. End.]
