The photo shows an axolotl, a kind of neotenic salamander which was found in a river in Zhengzhou in central China's Henan province. The “water monster” was found in the Jinshui River by two patrolmen in Zhengzhou. The creature was identified as an axolotl by a local pet owner. Thanks to the flamboyant appearance of their gills, which stick far out, axolotls have been described by some people as a "dinosaur fish with six horns." According to the man who identified the animal, it is not difficult to keep axolotls as pets in cold water. Axolotls with pink, orange and black amphibian skin are the ones usually available at pet markets.(Photo/hnr.cn)
