It turns out to be a salamander of the species Proteus, which remains in its larval form throughout its life; its length is less than 30 centimeters, though some individuals can reach 40 centimeters in length. Its body is white in color, it has thin limbs, with 3 fingers and 2 toes. It has 3 pairs of well-developed external gills and 2 pairs of gill slits, with red pinnate gills. The head is narrow, with a skull that is mostly cartilaginous. The mouth is blunt, without eyelids; the eyes are degenerated and hidden beneath the skin, but they are sensitive to light. They remain bottom-dwelling in the caves formed by groundwater throughout their lives, often extending their nostrils above the water surface to breathe air. Under light, the skin color can turn black, and it returns to its original state once in the dark. They are mostly oviparous, sometimes ovoviviparous. The eggs are scattered and attached beneath the stones. The parental salamanders exhibit egg-guarding behavior, with an incubation period of about 3 months. In the larval stage, eyes can be seen, and there are fin folds on the back; when it develops into an adult, these other structures remain unchanged, resulting in a permanent larval form. Proteus amphibius lives in completely dark caves; it has no eyes and its skin lacks pigmentation. Interestingly, if axolotls lived in lit environments, they would have eyes and brown skin, but these eyes are not complete, lacking important optic nerves; so although axolotls have eyes, they remain blind. The axolotl breathes through its gills, which are located at the back of the head on the outside of the body, one on each side. They are transparent and appear slightly red due to the blood flowing inside them. The salamander is an amphibian that breathes with lungs on land. It is an amphibian that is found in some dark caves in Europe. In the past, people mistook them for dragon hatchlings. The axolotl has no vision, its body is almost transparent, and it lives in an extremely unusual environment. Although they cannot see, they can detect chemical and electrical signals through the sensors on their bodies in order to hunt for certain invertebrates. Due to living in water most of the time, the skin of salamanders is particularly soft and pale. It’s a bit like the skin of some people, which is why they also have another name: “mermaids”. The axolotl has another subspecies, called the black axolotl. Black hole salamanders have eyes, and their skin contains pigment, so they don’t appear as magical as cave salamanders.
