Animal Question 2
Axolotls - Which of these is NOT a way to tell apart an axolotl from a salamander larva?
The correct answer is 'Salamanders have wider heads than axolotls'
You need to find an accurate way to tell whether your pet is an axolotl or salamander larvae. This is because axolotls only metamorph into salamanders when they are neglected and you need to change the way you care for them to stop them. Salamander larvae do this naturally and changing the way you care for them can seriously endanger them.

The Ula-ai-hawane (Ciridops anna) was a small honeycreeper once common to the rain forests of Hawaii. Known only from five specimens, the last one was collected on February 20, 1892 by naturalist George Munro near the Awini River (Mt. Kohala). Munro thought he may have sighted the bird one more time in 1937 on the Kahua ditch trail but he was unable to confirm it.
The upland moa (Megalapteryx didinus) was once endemic to New Zealand and one of the smallest of all moa species at 52 inches tall, weighing 55 lbs. It became the last species of moa in history, succumbing to extinction around the year 1500, although the possibility existed that the huge bird survived until the mid 1600's in the higher areas of New Zealand. Evidence from mummified moas found in dry, cold caves indicated that the bird was light brown except for its head and feet, which were black.
The Ua Pu monarch (Pomarea mira) was a small passerine that roamed the island of Ua Pu in the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. The last recorded sighting was of two immature birds in Hakahetau Valley in March, 1985 and subsequent searches between 1989 and 1999 failed to turn up any evidence of the monarch.
