This #EndangeredSpeciesDay, we’re spotlighting the axolotl! While popular in pop culture, axolotls are critically endangered in the wild. See them up close in our new axolotl habitat — made possible by 11-year-old Minecraft fan Sebastian Stirdivant Wason and his family. 💚

Peek-a-boo! 👀 Big cats — like jaguars — scratch trees to mark their territory, sharpen their claws and stretch their muscles. 💅 Sound familiar? Your house cat does the same thing at home on their scratching posts (or your couch). 🐱 #Caturday #Jaguar #BigCat #Kitty

We love the axolotl—frilly gills and all—but do you know how to say its name? It’s NOT “axe-oh-lot-ul.” It’s "ah-SHO-low-tl" — with a unique “tl” sound made by blowing air off your tongue’s sides. Aztec in origin, “axolotl” means “water monster” or “water dog” in Nahuatl.
