"Strange Animals" no. 2

This month's strange animal is the Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum).

- it's a salamander that lives in Mexico City lakes.
- it's a critically endangered specie.
- "Axolotl" is a aztec name that means "water monster".
- in some countries this amphibian is kept as a pet. i saw it for sale in a pet's store in Lisbon.
- it is always smiling.
