The caves are also home to the endemic olm or proteus, the largest troglodytic amphibian in the world. In English, it is an aquatic salamander; the only cave-dwelling species found in Europe. It eats, sleeps, and breeds under water. It is also called the "human fish" because of its fleshy skin color. It is 8 to 12 inches long.
