An axolotl holding a 'World's Okayest Swimmer' trophy
Meet the Axolotl
Axolotls are a type of salamander that never undergoes metamorphosis, so they keep their gills and remain aquatic their entire lives. They're found in Mexico and are also known as Mexican walking fish, although they're not actually fish.
The Humble Hero
Our axolotl friend may not be the fastest or strongest swimmer, but it's got heart. And what's more impressive than winning a trophy for being okay at something? It's all about having fun and trying your best!
The Story Behind the Trophy
Maybe our axolotl won the trophy in a school competition, or maybe it was a prize from a particularly enthusiastic aquarium owner. Whatever the reason, it's clear that this little guy is proud of its achievement.
