The Texas blind salamander (Eurycea rathbuni) is a rare and endangered cave-dwelling troglobite amphibian native to San Marcos, Hays County, Texas, specifically the San Marcos Pool of the Edwards Aquifer. This species resembles the olm, another stygofaunal salamander from Europe. Its body is less elongated than the olm's, and it has more digits on each limb: four on the front limbs and five on the back, while the olm has three and two respectively.
