Most salamanders start their lives in water and grow up to live on land. Not the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum)! This unique critter is a neotenic amphibian, meaning it retains most of its juvenile features into adulthood—including frilly gills and dorsal fins. What’s more? The axolotl lives permanently in water, breathing primarily through its gills rather than its rudimentary lungs. Found only in Lake Xochimilco in the Valley of Mexico, this rare amphibian is threatened in the wild by pollution, overfishing, and other human activities.

You’ve heard of the porcupine, but what about the thin-spined porcupine (Chaetomys subspinosus)? This nocturnal rodent, also known as the bristle-spined rat, is found only in parts of northern and central Brazil. Unlike many other porcupines, this one’s quills are more like bristles than spines. On average, this species weighs around 3 lbs (1.4 kg). It’s herbivorous and dines on leaves, fruit, and nuts!

The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) needs no introduction. With bone-crushing jaws, haunting vocalizations, and a feisty disposition, this critter is Earth’s largest living marsupial carnivore. Weighing up to 30 lbs (13.6 kg), the Tasmanian devil is primarily a scavenger, chomping down on just about anything it can find—even if it's rotten. Did you know? Baby devils, which are about the size of a raisin at birth, are called imps.

💙 This Mother’s Day, let’s look at the incredibly collaborative birth process of sperm whales.

🐋 A team of @projectceti and @amnh researchers recently published the most comprehensive documentation of a sperm whale birth ever recorded! Besides humans, scientists are finding that sperm whales are one of the most empathetic, caring, and community-oriented species on our planet. Hear more about the exciting findings from the CEO and Founder of Project CETI and Museum Research Associate David Gruber, and visit the link in our bio to learn more.
