The Olm Is An Exclusively Subterranean And Underwater Species, And As Such It's Difficult To Make Field

Light shines on an olm lying in a small puddle between two rocks, and it uses its arms to creep forward slightly.

The olm slithers forward around a rock into slightly deeper water.

Although its eyes are regressed it does still have photo sensitivity, and the olm continues to move around the rock and away from the camera's light.

Time to leave this little cave dragon in peace!

The olm is an exclusively subterranean and underwater species, and as such it's difficult to make field observations. Individuals in captivity have been observed to live up to 68 years, and in the wild they may have a life expectancy of over 100 years. ©
