Description

Just imagine watching a clutch of axolotl eggs hatch, taking to the water for the very first time. You don't have to imagine anymore; you can simply order our brand-new Axolotl Hatching in Egg Plushie! This squishy-soft newborn axolotl is simply tickled pink to meet you, and can't wait for you to reciprocate the feeling. Give this not-so-slippery salamander a squeeze, and see for yourself; your daily stresses will be forgotten as you delve into that famous lake in Mexico City where axolotl roam. This pink powerhouse is also an extremely strong visual statement in any space, and that goes double with its egg. Whether you want it to liven up your favorite space, give some much-needed cuddle time, or simply function as a pillow, this little lizard is your perfect companion! 🦎

The humble axolotl really is down to just one native habitat; all of its others have either become polluted, or fallen prey to either erosion or human expansion. This may be a bummer, but there's a silver lining; whether it's in research labs, zoos, or eve a tank in your very own living room, axolotls thrive in captivity, and have successfully been spread around the world because of that fact. Their regenerative abilities are incredible, allowing them to regrow lost limbs altogether in some cases. This is why scientists love them so much; if we can crack that DNA code, it will bring us one step closer to the kind of world where crippling injuries and terminal illnesses have a better chance of going away entirely. Their life cycle, punctuated by metamorphosis, is thought to have a hand in the mystery; they start life without any arms or legs! 

The axolotl that will make its way to your door is fairly close to the size of a real one, but an adult, rather than a hatchling. It stands at 7.08 inches tall, while the egg it sits in is 7.87 inches. They both have a coating of soft plush polyester, with filling made from super-silky polypropylene cotton down. Hand washing is the way to go if either creature or egg gets dirty; extremes of temperature and handling, such as those typical of a machine wash cycle, can cause shrinkage, fading, and warping.
