mexican walking fish on brink of extinction

Ahhhh!!! These little fuckers are so cute. It would be sad if there were no more left for future generations to stare blankly at on computer screens during hungover mornings at work.

Half salamander half H.R. Puff ‘n’ Stuff, the Mexican walking fish is on the verge of turning belly up and floating down the river of extinction. Known widely as the Axolotl salamander, these cute little buggers are being seriously threatened by water pollution and habitat destruction. Another big problem is that they are easy prey, basically defenseless, against the non-native species, like the Tilapia and the Asian Carp, that have been introduced to their habitat by the fishing industry. If the Axolotl survives the attack with a missing limb, they have the unique ability to regenerate most of their body parts.
