Special thanks to the photographers for providing images of Texas endangered and threatened animals. All rights to these images are reserved. Educational use permitted. The Tooth Cave Pseudoscorpion looks like a tiny, tailless scorpion without eyes.
Pseudoscorpions use their pinchers to catch prey.
Usually found under rocks, this species is quite rare and little is known of its habits. Many caves have been paved over or filled in. Other caves have been altered so that they no longer provide the stable temperatures and high humidities needed to support these animals. Contamination by pollutants is also a threat to their survival.
