bro what is your...

Bro what is your favorite animal ? Please dude it's for science and WHY

My favourite animal?

That's a though one.

If you're talking about science, I'll have to say axolotl.

Name lore (aztec mythology):

Axolotl comes from the Nahuatl word 'axolotl', which translates to 'water monster'.

It's a reference to the god Xólotl, who mutated into an amphibian to save himself from death.

Some nice facts:

1. Axolotls stay looking like a baby for their whole life:

Axolotls are 'neotenic' creatures, meaning they achieve sexual maturity without losing any of their larval features. So while many amphibians, like the salamander, will eventually develop lungs & live on land, axolotls keep their trademark feathery external gills & remain aquatic. This also means that their teeth never develop & that they must rely on a suction method to consume food.

2. They're only native to ONE (1) place in the world: Mexico City

The axolotl's native habitat is in dire straits. Axolotls are only found in the wild in one location: Lake Xochimilco in southern Mexico City. Their former home, Lake Chalco, in central Mexico City, was drained to avoid flooding. Xochimilco has been reduced to a series of canals & axolotls are scarce due to the loss of its habitat as well as the introduction of predatory carp & tilapia.

3. They're colourful creatures:

The colour pigmentation & patterns of axolotls are the result of four different genes. In the wild, axolotls are most commonly brown or black with specks of gold or olive. Like other salamanders, they can also adjust their colour to better camouflage with their surroundings.

4. They can REGENERATE body parts:

Quite the number of amphibians & fish are capable of regenerating tails & limbs, but axolotls take this ability up a notch by regenerating jaws, spinal cords, skin, ovary & lung tissue & even portions of their hearts & brains! What's more, an axolotl can continue to regenerate throughout its life.

The regenerative abilities of this animal's cells are of significant interest to researchers hoping to translate this ability to humans. This is a remarkable capability: If an axolotl loses a limb, the appendage will grow back at just the right size and orientation. Within weeks, the seam between old and new disappears completely!

5. They have a large genome:

With 32 billion DNA bases & a genome 10 times the size of a human’s, sequencing the DNA of axolotls is a challenge for scientists. But it's an important one, as it will help researchers discover how the axolotl uses stem cells to regenerate tissue. Scientists have already identified two genes used in regeneration in axolotls. Because the regenerative abilities of axolotls are so impressive, scientists continue to expand their research to include other internal organs & retina regeneration.

6. Courtship rituals involve DANCING:

When axolotls reach six months of age, it’s time for them to mate. The process begins with the adult animals rubbing each other's cloacal region & continues with them moving together in a circular, dance-like fashion.

Axolotl are the finest creatures & I'd love to own one.

If you're talking about visual appealing in terms of favourite animals, I'd have to say puffins.

Have some nice pictures I got from pinterest:

Also, puffins:

If you get this, answer w three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs! Anon or not, doesn’t matter, let’s get to know the person behind the blog :)

Hello dear Anon!

I think I've done some random fact asks/tag games before but it was ages ago, so I'm probably going to repeat myself.

My don't have a favourite animal. I've never been able to choose between a Wolf, a Fox, or a Raven. And as for Domestic animals I adore cats, but also like dogs and snakes.

When I was about 5 years old, I wanted to be a ballet dancer, but couldn't due to a condition in my legs I was born with called Congenital Talipes. So I decided I was going to be a book illustrator. That lasted about a year, when I realised I couldn't draw stick figures (I mean, I was an impatient child!) so then around the age of 7 I decided I was going to write books intead and that passion and desire hasn't wavered in the last 26 years.

I ADORE long hair. On men, on women, straight, curly, whatever, I think it suits everyone. And because of this I have to be super aware of it because when I'm writing up a character I have a tendancy to give a majority of my characters long hair.

Photographer Amy Bragg posted several sea otter photos with the caption “Our boat came upon hundreds and hundreds of Sea Otters in a kelp bed behind a large rock in the water just outside of Kodiak Island. The boat captain said the otters seek refuge here from the Orcas as the water is too shallow for the whales to get them. I had never seen so many otters together in one place. So fun!”

Fun Fact: A group of sea otters is called a raft.
