A new addition to the popular organic cotton washcloth puppets What is an Oxolotl? We didn't know until just recently ourselves. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is a type of salamander that doesn't go through metamorphosis. This means that unlike most amphibians, which grow out of their aquatic phase to begin their lives on land, the axolotl retains most of its larval characteristics and spends its adult life in the water. (Be sure to search Google for an image - they are fascinating to look at) • The cotton is just the right thickness – not too thin and not too thick • Available in adult and child sizes • The mouths open like a real puppet • Made in the EU
