The Texas Blind Salamander is an extremely rare cave-dwelling amphibian native to San Marcos, Texas. Because this Salamander is adapted for living in water underground, it has no eyes and little skin pigment. It is a predator and hunts its prey by sensing water pressure waves created by animals in the still underground waters where it lives.
The Texas Blind Salamander is native to San Marcos and lives in underwater caves of Edwards Aquifer.
