Cinco de Mayo is a big holiday in Mexico. I thought I would share my photos of some of the many animals that come from Mexico. A small sample today includes Harpy Eagle, Jaguar, Mexican wolf, axolotl, Spider monkey, Howler monkey, Ocelot, Scarlet macaw, Iguana, Rattlesnake, Quetzal, Manatee, Monarch butterfly, Coati, Tamandua, Chachalaca, Caiman, Mexican fruit bat, Gila monster and of course Mr. Pepe my adorable senior chihuahua. ARRIBA!
While at the Zoo 
Wow. Fascinating looking animals. I had to look up the axolotl — needed to know more about it. It looks like something that was invented for a Disney movie. But, they’re real and highly endangered. Found a NY Times article about saving the axolotl https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/05/science/mexico-axolotl-biology.html#:~:text=The%20only%20way%20to%20save,they%20could%20be%20linked%20together.
I’ll be raising tonight’s margarita and making a toast to the preservation of the axolotl.
