What makes axolotls weird?

Have you ever sean an axolotl before because if you have you would be amazed how fun they can be.

Did you know that they eat there babies and if a girl axolotl gets bigger then the male axolotl they will eat the male axolotl.

Did you know that they only come from one place in the world, one complex of lakes that are close to Mexico City in south-central Mexico.

Surveys in 1998, 2003 and 2008 found 6,000, 1,000 and 100 axolotls per square kilometer in its Lake Xochimilco habitat, respectively.



A four-month-long search in 2013, however, turned up no surviving individuals in the wild. Just a month later, two wild ones were spotted in a network of canals leading from Xochimilco.


The city is currently working on conserving axolotls by building "axolotl shelters" and conserving remaining and potential habitats for the Axolotl. I sure hope they manage to survive.

As you can see, an axolotl is pretty weird. I wish that I had one as they look like a very fun pet to have.

Did you know that fidget spinner are a toy that has be going for a long time?

They have just started to come into school and they are selling them at petrol station and at post shops. Heaps of people have bought them and they are popular too.

Fidget Spinners only have momentum when they are spinning. Fidget spinners have more momentum when they are made to spin faster. This happens when you flick the edge and it spins.

Do bigger fidget spinners have more momentum? Heavier objects normally have more momentum but it depends on how fast they are going. They need a bigger push to get started.


Do fidget spinners spin underwater? Well…. I am not sure. Maybe you would like to test that out!
