kirchzep27 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 The Axolotl may not a common pet, but it is very unique. The axolotl is a type of salamander, native to Mexico. It’s scientific name is Ambystoma mexicanum. The common pet or laboratory Axolotl refers exclusively to A. mexicanum, although in Mexico the term Axolotl is used in reference to several species of Ambystoma, and is considered an edible food source! The Axolotl is neotenic, meaning that it doesn’t routinely undergo metamorphosis from the larval to adult form, as happens with most other salamanders. Instead, the larval form (with gills) becomes sexually mature and reproduces, maintaining a strictly aquatic life style. Under some circumstances, the Axolotl can undergo metamorphosis into a terrestrial from, although this can be stressful on the animal. You gotta love this one for its cartoon like features. Two other unique creatures, the nautilus and the sea horse. their mobility is interesting...the nautilus with its semi buoyancy propolsion and the sea horse has its fluttering helicopter like mobility.

kirchzep27 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Speaking of nautical creatures. I have a poster of a bull shark, apparently its from the 70s and has become quite a famous photo. The shark is in black and white and the surrounding water is blue/colorized. Its from an almost head on angle...and with the perspective, when you look at it for awhile, the tail appears to move, a swimming motion. Perspective wise, the shark is like swimming out of the picture. Very cool poster...not cool if you were in the water and seeing it ofcourse.

kirchzep27 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I've caught many of these in California. The Lingcod (very ferocious with canine teeth) We have those here on the east coast, we call them dog fish, or toad fish. yeah they are full of teeth, but harmless really. When we were kids we dived for golf balls off a golf course and these fish tended to stay around golf balls, for either vision purposes, or attraction of killies, grass shrimp or whatever else. Anyway, we had dove down with sticks to scare them away, so we could get the golf balls and sell them back to the golfers. great memories. Ultimately, a bad business though...rich golfers, wayyyyy too cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirchzep27 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I know that the photo says its a shrimp, but the claws look like a lobster... i was thinking baby lobster, or translucent lobster type creature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can think is that the eyes make it look exactly like Dr. Zoidburg from Futurama. Just color it pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The horseshoe crab isn't so gross. If I ran into one of those things I'd want a pitch fork- it looks like a giant bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah i agree, that creature is an intense looking and bug like. spider crabs, another interesting looking creature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ocean Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I like those. They look like they're wearing some kind of furry gloves - to which I can relate given that my hands are cold most of the time. I saw an Axolotl in an aquarium some years ago - that creature was right spooky! When we walked up to the aquarium, it spied us and came crawling over from the other end of the container to stare at us with its bulging eyes...that strange smile doesn't help either.... Creepy! Actually, the more I look at it, the cuter it gets. I guess it's not so bad after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
