Taylor Ritsema says:

The first fish to crawl up on land?

Nicole Keller says:

That’s a fish?

Janie Scott says:

I know you’re young, but you know how to write and you probably know how to read also. If you read some of the comments, you’ll find out that it’s not a fish. You’ll also find out what it is.

August 23, 2012 at 12:34 pm

My, aren’t WE snotty–& arrogant. Get over yourself & in a better mood before your next comment!

Janie Scott says:

Marcie Castello – I don’t know why, but reading too much stuff here does make me snotty & arrogant. I’m in a better mood now … I haven’t been here long. Oh yeah … get over YOURself.

Naomi Richardson says:

June 3, 2012 at 10:04 pm

This is very cute, lots of know-how here. Thanks everyone. I didn’t think it was a fish, but I didn’t know anything about it. To chorus so many of you…I want one too.

Diana Sinclair says:

June 2, 2012 at 5:04 pm

I know about the axolotl, too. Sometimes it’s an air-breathing salamander, sometimes it’s more fish-like! That little pink and white sweetheart is just plain uber-cute!

Audrey-Keith Ross says:

Karen Roberts says:

Ines Espinosa says:

May 25, 2012 at 6:49 pm

Of course it is. I am so glad that Bonnie told us the species…

Lily Garmon says:

May 23, 2012 at 8:34 pm

It isn’t a fish it is a mud-puppy, which is, as I shall have you know, is an amphibian.

Seth Forbis says:

May 18, 2012 at 9:19 pm

kinda lame that they are calling it a fish, we call them mud puppies here…i catch them when fishing occasionally, ours are brown though not pink.

Toni Carlisle-Souther says:

May 16, 2012 at 8:19 pm

NO! It’s creepy! *shudders*

Shalisa Jackson says:

May 16, 2012 at 8:19 am

THIS IS NOT A FISH! This is an Axolotl. Yes, it is in the Phylum: Chordata (so are fish and PEOPLE). But it is in the class of Amphibia with frogs, toads, and salamanders. Fish are in the class of Actinopterygii. Totally different from morphological, cladistic, phylogenetic, ecological, and evolutionary viewpoints. Bottom Line: THIS IS NOT A FISH! But it is pretty cute.

Pennie R. Newsum Trussell says:

Way too weird for me. It gives me the creeps!

Shira Stav says:

Sara Pendergast says:

Katy Westlund says:

Katy Westlund says:

Dana Turnbough says:

Lee Cooley says:

May 1, 2012 at 12:19 pm

Marilyn Boone says:

When I was younger, this is what my Sea Monkeys looked like to me

Deven Childs says:

April 27, 2012 at 10:34 am

This is a cousin to salamanders or is one I didn’t look the following up, I just using what I know of animal biology, don’t ask me for specific names because they all get jumbled in my head.. They can live in underground water systems and caves. Other species and perhaps this one sometimes live near or at waterfalls. Those horny pink limbs with the hair like structures are basically external gills. They also may have the dual function of sifting food from flowing water. There are salamanders throughout the world, some on land some in rivers or streams, some underground.

Amanda Renee Bell says:

Jigglypuff!

Darcy Terrell says:

Becky Smilgis says:

Sarah Mallory says:

April 26, 2012 at 11:49 am

Darcy Terrell says:

April 26, 2012 at 1:20 pm

I must go to the conservatory and see them

Kayla Joyce says:

May 1, 2012 at 12:19 pm

I have seen one at the local zoo.

Deci Rook says:

April 23, 2012 at 1:34 pm

<3 These are so cute! Mudkips look like them.

Sunny Guy says:

April 16, 2012 at 8:04 pm

Take that “theory of evolution”.

Beth Reiter says:

April 23, 2012 at 11:34 am

Take what? This is an intermediate species between a fish and an amphibian.

Abigail Finger says:

May 23, 2012 at 5:34 am

Don’t you mean “Take that ‘Intelligent Design’”?

Mallory Bills says:

July 10, 2012 at 8:19 pm

Wow.. I Can’t believe you even said that. xD That wasn’t intelligent at all. You just proved that you got left out in the logic department of the brain. xD lmao

Lynn Pierson says:

April 16, 2012 at 6:19 pm

Wow!
Nature,once again, showing how wonderful it is.

Naomi Richardson says:

June 3, 2012 at 10:04 pm

Our Creator…

Janie Scott says:

August 15, 2012 at 4:34 pm

Sorry, but my parents created me and as far as I know, they didn’t create you or axolotyls

August 31, 2012 at 12:19 pm

Sorry, too, Janie–but your comment LOST me…

Janie Scott says:

I don’t know why my comment lost you. Basically, here’s what it means … Naomi said: “Our Creator…”. My comment means: I’m an atheist … I don’t think a creator had anything to do with it. You may not agree with me, but are you still lost?

Brittany Mellott says:

April 15, 2012 at 4:19 pm

Yes!

Melissa Kates says:

April 13, 2012 at 4:04 am

OMG, I want one. Does anyone know if they are fresh or salt water?

Megan Adler says:

June 2, 2012 at 2:49 pm

No you don’t! Lol… they are almost extinct!

Jody Stanciell says:

April 12, 2012 at 5:04 am

His face is cute at least… but the rest of him…. like none I’ve ever seen!

Herminia Luisa Guas Cooper says:

April 12, 2012 at 12:19 am

very cute.. tiny hands, and armes never seen one like this.

Mel S Kern says:

April 11, 2012 at 8:49 pm

We have 2 of these. We hatched them from eggs.They are not fish but amphibians…salamander type…they keep their larval gills and stay in the water…do not under go metamorphosis

Michelle Terry says:

April 11, 2012 at 5:04 pm

It’s not a fish, and it’t not exactly what *I* consider cute, but it is interesting, and a neat photo.

Linda Watters Fullerton says:

April 11, 2012 at 4:50 pm

That’s cute where would u get one

Hank Watson says:

April 11, 2012 at 3:34 pm

Cute but otherworldly!

Susan Noel says:

April 11, 2012 at 1:49 pm

This Axolot is cute. As of 2010, wild axolotls are near extinction due to urbanization in Mexico City and polluted waters.

Jean Elzinga Dougherty says:

July 25, 2012 at 8:49 pm

Very true. I learned about this on the discovery channel. That’s also where i learned that Talapia is consider a sewer fish in Mexico because they use they to clean up polluted waters! Anybody here eat Talapia??? lol

Yikes! Not anymore!!

April 11, 2012 at 1:35 pm

That’s a cryin’ shame they’re near extinction.

Randy Rhodabarger says:

It’s very interesting fish, Is it fresh water or salt? I would like to buy one..

Janie Scott says:

August 15, 2012 at 4:49 pm

It’s not a fish.

August 23, 2012 at 12:34 pm

You’ve a sharp eye for the obvious, there, Janie.

Janie Scott says:

Ist of all, I don’t think it’s so obvious to all the people who keep calling it a fish. 2nd of all, what is it about my posts? Why do you feel the need to comment on all off them?

Jean Elzinga Dougherty says:

April 11, 2012 at 1:35 pm

Definitely an Axololt, an aquatic salamander, native to Mexico. A most endangered species!

Jean Elzinga Dougherty says:

April 11, 2012 at 1:35 pm

Definitely an Axololt, an aquatic salamander, native to Mexico! Currently on the most endangered species list!

Bonnie Rutter Sherman says:

April 27, 2012 at 8:49 pm

It is cute! actually it’s a salamander called an Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) Thank you Shanda.

Jessica Melder says:

It’s awesome to know that there are more people that know this species! It’s so unique with it’s evolutionary changes and limb regeneration (which is still being studied by scientists)! <3 ^_^

Jeri Rooks-Ellis says:

May 11, 2012 at 11:34 pm

Yes, it is! And, yes, it’s very cute.

Jo Vaizey says:

September 14, 2012 at 11:19 am

Did you know, that if you inject them with iodine, they turn into “proper” salamanders! (i.e. final stage of development, gills inside, and more normal colour)
