    cave dweller with red gills and long spindly
    legs. They are about 3 to 5 inches long. Their
    eyes look like black dots under their skin.

Habitat of the Texas Blind
Salamander
  • The Texas Blind
  • Salamander is a
  • cave-dwelling salamander.
  • He lives in an underground water system of the
    limestone caverns. It spends its life in complete
    darkness. It is sensitive to changes of water
    quality and ground water contamination.

4
Why the Texas Blind Salamander is Endangered
  • The water where the Blind Salamander lives is
    being polluted and the water level can become too
    low.

5
Interesting Facts
  • The Blind Salamander only lives in one state,
    Texas.

6
Programs to Help the Animal
  • We think that we can help the Blind
    Salamander by stopping the pollution of the water
    where it lives and getting other people to stop
    polluting the water too.
