What is this?

Do you know what is in this picture before I tell you? I got this ornament in the mail, and texted a picture to my sister who knew right away what it was. I didn’t know it, but my sister says my nieces really like them. So what is it? It is an Axolotl. How many of you knew that? I know some of you did. Some of you are really up on animals, and reptiles especially (you know who you are). What did you get in the mail today?

Amber said: It is an Axolotl. What on earth is an Axolotl?

A salamander from what I saw when I looked it up.

@xstitcher It doesn’t mean much to me either. If I saw one in real life it might freak me out, but put a Santa hat on it and I love the guy.

I don’t think I have seen one, but he is pretty cute. Are you going to wear him or display him?

I’d like to put him on my Christmas tree, if my Christmas tree can support him okay. Or maybe I’ll see if one of my nieces would like to display him for Christmas!

@MarieCoyle Now that Amyra is older, I’d say there is a good chance they would share. Of course, I may just be an optimist.

That is cute. All that came for me today was my Notice of Assessment from the CRA, you always get that after your taxes are completed.

I am so glad to see you here. I didn’t know if you had been a little scarce, or I had just not been on at the same time as you.

@wolfgirl569 I wonder if they would be expensive to make. They look like they would be hard because they are so unusual looking. No doubt, you could do it.

@AmbiePam There is no doubt about that one. He is feeling well now though and has been calm and happy..or at least not complaining about anything so I am happy about that.

It's a Christmas (tree) ornament. Oh, you meant the animal depicted on it. To be honest, I would have had a hard time figuring that out because of the accessories it wears, they hide the features pretty well. And even if it had been clear to me it was an Axotolol I would have had a hard time typing the name correctly. Axotolol is my closest guess to the way it is spelled.

Spell check kept trying to change it from axolotl, but axolotl is the name of it. Actually, the features aren’t really hidden. Where there is a hat or glasses, it would just be blank color. Because I thought the same thing until I saw one without a disguise.

@AmbiePam Yeah, the hat prolly doesn't hide much... but the glasses, it's like Superman.

I'm not familiar with an Axolotl so I had no idea what it was. It is a cute ornament though

Those are cute, they are called axolotl, a paedomorphic salamander closely related to the tiger salamander.

No, I didn't know what it was. I've never seen them. It's cute. I got one letter that will end up in the recycle bin.
