Texas Blind Salamander
Typhlomolge rathbuni

Looking like some kind of alien from another galaxy with its pale pink to white skin and spindly limbs, the delicate Texas Blind Salamander spends its entire life in the darkness of the cave waters located at San Marcos, Texas. Skin covers the useless eyes of these ghost-like amphibians. Prowling underwater on the cave floor, they rely on other senses like detecting vibration and smell to locate the snails and small arthropods they eat.
