    Hahahaha! They are so adorable and the fact that they so friendly just makes them even more cute! That one sat for me with ages as long as I scratched him. His name was Roger, he is an African penguin and he was the youngest one. He spent most of the time gnawing on my other hand while I scratched him and I have little nicks on my fingers today from his beak. You can see how thick their feathers are from how my fingers sink into it, it feels far more like thick fur.

    Eeeeeeeeeeeeee! Am in love!:D

    What an experience!

    Hahaha!when you said spotted Wellies, I was imagining giant multi-coloured spots! Yours are very chic!

    And I love the axolotl! When I first saw one, back in 1978 or so, I didn't think it was real! It looked so strange!
    They are very interesting creatures, and are a very old species. They are critically endangered in the wild.
    Let's hear it for the axolotl! :T


    Here's another one!

    Hahahahaha! Black, shiny wellies with lots of tiny pink spots and a pink stripe at the back!

    I stared at the axolotl for ages, I swear he was smiling! He had a little swim but was otherwise very still, he looked like a little toy! I have totally fallen in love with them.

    The axolotl definitely looks like he was smiling at you! What a lovely little thing! Fab photos! :D
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Aww, they are just adorable! I had seen photo's of axolotl's but never seen one in real life before. They stay still for so long, you can't even see them breathing then they swim like little frogs. I could have watched him for ages.

    In my old shared house we had five pet axolotls, we used to hand-feed them mealworms :) Three were the albino type like in the photos, and two were a wild type (darker colour).

    I currently have a pet newt :)

    Aw, I am jealous, HBS! I would love to have one! I am jealous of your newt, too. They are also totally adorable.

    These were absolutely gorgeous and in a large aviary that you could enter so free to fly as they wished. I have no idea what they are (other than birds). They weren't afraid and allowed you to get very close.
