The Olm is a totally aquatic amphibian (eats, sleeps, breeds, etc). It is endemic to the Dinaric Karst caves in S. Europe -- though restricted, it is a large cave system. It is known for two striking features: 1. Its external gills. Many salamanders have external gills in larval sm into adulthood. 2. Its eyes are essentially nonfunctional. Though they supposedly help vision a little bit, they have evolved to stay under-developed. It would be costtages, but this one retains thely to develop full vision in a cave that is pitch black.
So to you Intelligent-Designers who argue that the eye is too perfect to have just come about, explain this one. under-developed eyes? Not so perfect design, I would say.
