It was actually an ‘olm’!
Because of their pink hue of their skin, olms have also been referred as “human fish”. They can grow up to 16 inches. With their handy gills, they breed and spend almost their entire lives underwater. Because of this, they possess sensory organs that allow them to survive and thrive in their dark habitats. They’re actually almost completely blind, and actually, have a layer of skin over their eyes because of the futility of the organ.
