The Whitesboro Public Library welcomed a new addition last week, a three-year-old female Axanthic axolotl that will live permanently at the library in a 40-gallon tank.
The axolotl (which is a species of salamander) is a type of amphibian native only to Mexico City's Lake Xochimilco.
The Axanthic axolotl is a color morph of the animal that lacks the pigment cells responsible for producing yellow pigments, resulting in her lavender coloration.
