What is the Jollyville salamander?
A species of Eurycea salamander that lives in the Jollyville Plateau area roughly bounded by the Colorado River, MoPac, Lake Travis, and Highway 183. The adult salamander usually grows to 2 inches long. The population size and habitat preferences of the salamanders are largely unknown. Like the Barton Springs salamander, the Jollyville Plateau salamander is neotenic (retain gills as adults) and therefore lives underwater in caves, springs, and spring surface flows.
