SALAMANDER!

Today we started off class by handing in UP 9-12.We then went over our animal of the day #3 which was an Axolotl. We also watched one informational video and silly video (listed below) that implied axolotls have some traces to salamanders.

-class: amphibia

-3.5-13.8 in (90-350 mm) in total length

-Native to Mexico

We then watched a Bill Nye video on fossils.

After that we got some time to start on our homework which is:
