What a pretty pink dragon
Where are you from?
Don’t you live in Mexico?
But to human invasion you’ve succumb
>
You’re nearly extinct, dear axolotl
Out here in the wild
This is a serious problem
We can’t make it seem mild
>
Your gills look like feathers
They make you look like a flower
But they’re not just for show are they?
They’re your superpower!
>
Those gills help you breathe in water
I’ve read about you
You breathe like a fish
But an amphibian are you!
>
You have another power
Hidden inside your DNA
It’s called neoteny
You won’t grow up, not a day!
>
You’ll look like a big tadpole
Your whole life it seems
You would become a salamander
If not for your genes
>
It’s sad to think about
A world without you
I hope that never happens
Let it never be true!
