Question: Have you heard of the Olm? I think that it is an amazing creature. How can it do what it does?

commented on 22 Jun 2010: Hi buzzers…it seems that the Olm has eyes when it is born but they then shrivel up a bit (nice technical term!) as they get older so it looks like it is still born with the ability to live in light. A nice example of adaptation by a species in the environment it lives in. Thanks for that, I’ll have to show my daughter tonight!
