Olm Salamander – Up To 100+ Years

The olm is a type of salamander that is living proof of how bizarre nature is. Unlike other members of its family, this amphibian lives underwater. On top of that, it is completely blind and resides in the caves of the Slovenian, Croatian, and Bosnian & Herzegovinian coasts. Locals even call them ‘the human fish’ since their skin color looks just like that of a pale human. When it was first discovered, it was thought to be a baby dragon. This is cool enough on its own, but it can also live longer than a hundred years.
