Here at Lol.inc we've been too busy gloating at our success and posting Youtube links to talk about anything random. So I'm going to talk about a random animal for a change.
Axolotls live somewhere in south america... Or in asia. I really don't know. They are part of a group of giant salamanders. Well, everyone knows that baby frogs are tadpoles, and they grow up from there? Well, the same goes for newts. The metamorphosis is triggered by a chemical from the thyroid gland, somewhere in the throat of the animal. Humans have them too. To get thyroid glands to work you need some iodine. Axolotls live in a place with no iodine in the water, so the species evolved to never grow up. They kind of mature as kids, so a pregnant axolotl is like a pregnant teenager.
Sometimes pet axolotls get fed iodine by accident. When they grow up they become land lubbin' salamanders, and lead an unsuccessful life.
