Hi, Russ! Ella here. I was going to ask if you have or will add any articles about axolotls! I’m very interested about their lifespan and if they could go extinct. Hope you can reply! Plus, have a great Thanksgiving!

Thanks for the suggestion, Ella! I'll take a look and see if there are any axolotl stories we can do! In the meantime, if you want to learn some more fun facts about the cute creatures, I'd recommend reading the article "Animals A-Z: Axolotl" on News-O-Matic! And I hope you have a great Thanksgiving as well!
