40 Strange Cave Discoveries That Are Hard To Be Explained

Olm Salamander

There might be creepy and dangerous creatures like the Baja Spider or the world’s longest snake lurking around in some deserted cave but sometimes we find certain things that attract us with their beauty and we wonder if we have seen all the magnificent things in the world. One such creature is the Olm Salamander found in the deep underwater caves of Slovenia and Croatia.

This little aquatic wonder uses electro-sensation to understand its underwater surroundings and just like the blind fish we discussed earlier, this too is visually impaired. Another thing that is wonderful about it is that it can live up to 100 years and unlike other aquatic creatures this one does not shed its original gills until its death.
