Girl Finds Rare Axolotl Under Welsh Bridge
A 10-year-old girl found a rare axolotl under a bridge in Wales. Evie Hill and her mother were on a day trip when they made the find.
The axolotl was under Dipping Bridge on the River Ogmore near Bridgend in Wales. The creature is called an axolotl and comes from Mexico.
Evie named it Dippy. Dippy was injured when found and is 9 inches long.
The family is now caring for Dippy in a fish tank at home. They are sharing updates on Dippy's recovery on TikTok.
Klear Note — Axolotls are rare Mexican water creatures that live in tanks. They're endangered in the wild but kept as pets. Finding one wild in Wales is very unusual.
