Description
This is made for #ProjectComment 's sketch jam (#ProjectComment ). We had to come up with our own theme, and mine was endangered animals.50 minutes with the pen tool.
I know it's not good, but I wanted to try to raise a teeny bit of awareness for the axolotl.

Yes, of course it is!
Protect them, they're almost extinct.

This is a lovely piece! I love how sweet it is, and its expression is so cute.
Axolotls are amazing creatures (even their name is amazing!). My sister's class used to have one, back when she was in primary school.

Axolotls are very cute, I can't believe they're so threatened.
Thank you.

I am very proud of you.
And I actually like the style. Reminds me of those cartoons on Noggin.

I know all about these, I have to say, because my biology teacher.. she was a massive fan of these. There were always two in the glass tank that we had in the class, and... yeah, they were pretty cute as they swam about and stuff.
It is a shame, but.. well, is this the case where it's survival of the fittest?
Also, I heard there was a link between these and salamanders.

I'm jealous. *-* I wish my bio teacher had some axolotls. 
I think it's partially survival of the fittest, but it's not their fault entirely, because they're adapted to living and humans are destroying their only habitats. 
They turn into salamanders, I believe.

They are a bit costly, aren't they?
That's true enough. We have largely influenced things too.
Yay!

Well, it looks like they're $35 for one juvenile, not too expensive!

That doesn't sound too bad, no.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's more affordable than I assumed, but the website says they're "social animals" and that you should buy 2+.

I know, they get you every time.

I love the axolotl.
It was a year or two back, and I was on vacation. I had decided to go to the science museum, and in their aquatic wildlife section they had a tank full of axolotls.
When they suddenly started wriggling around, I was completely shocked. I could have never imagined in a million years that such an interesting animal could possibly exist right here on Earth! It looked like something straight out of science fiction!
To hear that such an entirely fascinating and unique creature is critically endangered fills me with disappointment and contempt. How could any human being not appreciate the axolotl?! What kind of cruel, uncaring, un-empathic heart would you have to possess in order to ignore this magnificent example of nature's miracles?
I hope that one day all of us will rediscover what a wonderful world we live in, and stop this horrendous trend of self-destruction.

Gosh darnit. Will there be any nice creatures left when my children have children? Too many species too fast...

So cute; I had an axolotl but it died last year... 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Really, you had one? How was it? Easy to take care of?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah it was great; I fed it every 2-3 days and it liked semi-dirty water
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I had little pellets, but I've heard of people digging up worms to feed them.
