Cutest endangered species EVAR!


Ladies and gentlemen, I present the axolotl, otherwise known as the Mexican Walking Fish. Sadly, this adorable, Pokémon-like critter is endangered.
Now, I'm not normally the tree-hugging type, but I make an exception for threatened species that are sufficiently badass (like the giant water bug - dude, fucker eats piranhas), bizarre (for instance, the coconut crab - no, this pic isn't Photoshopped), or ADORABLE.
I want one.
Apparently, although they're endangered, this cute lil' face can be kept in a slightly salty aquarium.
I may not be a tree-hugger, but in this case, I might be a fish-hugger.
