Axolotl

Axolotls are definitely not the most popular animals around but currently they have been gaining a lot of attention for their unusual looks or figure. Axolotls are also known as the Mexican walking fish, although they are called a fish they are amphibians. You may recognize them from their odd shaped gills (allowing them to breathe underwater) that are shaped as a lions mane. They are also carnivorous and have a fairly common way of catching their pray. When hunting the axolotl will grip its food in its mouth and move it into position with its pedicalate teeth (shaped like cones) before swallowing it whole. I think the fact that an animal only 9.1 inches (average) is as successful as it is. Did I forget to mention that the axolotl is one of my classmates favorite animals but the more I read about them the cooler they get, and that’s why.
