Texas blind salamander
The Texas blind salamander (''Eurycea rathbuni'') is a rare cave-dwelling troglobite amphibian native to San Marcos, Hays County, Texas, specifically the San Marcos Pool of the Edwards Aquifer. The salamander has blood-red external gills for absorbing oxygen from the water. The salamander's mature length is . Its diet varies by what flows into its cave, including blind shrimp (''Palaemonetes antrorum''), snails, and amphipods.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Herps of Texas )〕
==Distribution and habitat==
Specimens have been collected at seven localities in the Purgatory Creek system and along the San Marcos Fault near San Marcos, Texas. Adults and immature larvae are well-adapted for living in underground streams in caves, and many probably inhabit deep recesses that are not accessible to collectors. Specimens have been taken in deep pools with minimal current and nearly constant 21-22°C temperatures. The first specimens of this species were collected in 1895 from a newly constructed well that drew water from 58 m below the surface.〔
