  1. proteus anguinus

    Proteus anguinus, commonly known as the olm or the "human fish" due to its skin color, is a species of aquatic salamander in the family Proteidae. It is a blind, cave-dwelling creature found primarily in the karstic groundwater systems of southern European countries like Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. As they spend their entire life in darkness, they have developed a heightened sense of smell and hearing but have lost their sight. The olm is also recognized for its impressive lifespan, with some living up to 100 years. Being vulnerable to environmental change, the olm is classified as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
