The blind salamander (Proteus anguinus), also known as the olm, has the longest lifespan of any amphibian, often living to over 70 in zoos, and with a predicted maximum age of over 100.    From Wordnik.com.  [PhysOrg.com - latest science and technology news stories] Reference

Whatever, troglobitic olm populations must have evolved within the last 10,000 years or so, and presumably the specialised troglobitic morphology of living olms evolved during this time.    From Wordnik.com.  [Archive 2006-03-01] Reference

What might be the most fascinating fact concerning olms is the most poorly-known and least mentioned one: the 1986 discovery of a surface-dwelling olm, described in 1994 by Boris Sket and Jan Willem Arntzen.    From Wordnik.com.  [Archive 2006-03-01] Reference

There is also no unusual antioxidant activity in the olm that might explain its longevity.    From Wordnik.com.  [PhysOrg.com - latest science and technology news stories] Reference

"If the olm could produce a lot of ATP without much ROS, it could explain its longevity," he says.    From Wordnik.com.  [New Scientist - Online News] Reference

If one is as conservative as possible, this suggests the maximum life span of the olm is roughly 102 years.    From Wordnik.com.  [Yahoo! News: Business - Opinion] Reference

The olm has atrophied eyes and virtually no skin pigment - both adaptations to its largely lightless existence.    From Wordnik.com.  [Yahoo! News: Business - Opinion] Reference

The mysterious olm was once believed to be a juvenile dragon - now it is providing valuable clues in the quest for the elixir of life.    From Wordnik.com.  [New Scientist - Online News] Reference

"Although the olm does not have a remarkably low metabolic rate, it is extremely inactive during its life," Voituron told LiveScience.    From Wordnik.com.  [Yahoo! News: Business - Opinion] Reference

Voituron said the studies have shown the olm is extremely inactive and rarely moves except to feed and to reproduce (which only happens every 12.5 years).    From Wordnik.com.  [PhysOrg.com - latest science and technology news stories] Reference
