The axolotl is an endangered Mexican “walking fish”. It is endangered because of an invasive species (the Asian carp) taking over its habitat. Should we get one as a pet for the science room?

Lisa took this picture right after she put in the new halogen bulb. These turtles really like to bask! They are cold blooded, so they can’t make their bodies warm. They need the heat of the Sun – or a nice lamp – to do that.

These turtles are living in the Science Room for the summer. During the school year, they live in the Greenhouse. They are a little crowded with four sharing one tank, but in September they’ll move back into their nice big separate tanks again.
