Augie the Axolotl
The axolotl (pronounced ACK-suh-LAH-tuhl) is an enchanting amphibian known for its delightful appearance, often in a charming shade of pink, though you might also find some in a striking black hue. With its perpetual cheery grin and unique regenerative abilities, the axolotl can regenerate limbs, organs, and bones, making it a fascinating creature in both nature and crafts.
