I wouldn't say it flopped. well, maybe just a tad, poll everyone and see how the results turn out.

[–]ErMahGehrd 0 points1 point ago

Ruined it

[–]JacobCurry -3 points-2 points ago

Joke's on you! Neither komodo dragons nor turtles are amphibians.

[–]PileOfSecrets 88 points89 points ago

This is not wtf-material. Go away.

[–]krazycraft 2 points3 points ago

I wish the mods of /r/wtf actually you know moderated...but they are just karma whores who jerk off to how many subs they can "mod".

[–]Dangger 20 points21 points ago

This is absolutely what /r/wtf is for. To post images of cute animals that are a reference to some other post. Thanks for keeping this subreddit full of good stuff fuckface.

[–]Imperdimper 29 points30 points ago

Hey, I think you accidentally submitted a new post instead of replying to the original post like you are supposed to. You should delete this and go post a reply over there. Thanks.

[–]Vorcyn 7 points8 points ago

This is not WTF AT ALL man, i have know idea who upvoted this. It's a really old picture by the way and I think it's been in /r/Aww a couple times too...

[–]Frozone470 25 points26 points ago

Looks like a pokemon, straight up

[–]Six_of_Spades 12 points13 points ago

[–]xJingalls 10 points11 points ago

[–]EvOllj 3 points4 points ago

It is a mudkip!

Obviously inspiration for one.

These are 6 external lungs. It is amphibic.

[–]gerth 2 points3 points ago

so i herd u leik mudkipz...

[–]CullenDM 2 points3 points ago

I am pretty sure Wooper is based on this.

[–]red321red321 2 points3 points ago

even the name is pokemon-like.

[–]FapFapFap07 0 points1 point ago

Go Axolot! Use splash . . . it's not very effective.

[–]trevdaddy 0 points1 point ago

I was thinking the same exact thing

[–]Perryn 1 point2 points ago

Or the offspring of Kirby and a salamander.

[–]Liberando -1 points0 points ago

I concur.

[–]ThatOtherGai 9 points10 points ago

STOP - JUST STOP THIS SHIT!

[–]iregretiwrotethis 14 points15 points ago

I see your original title, and lower you a downvote.

[–]somethinginsideme 0 points1 point ago

It looks like one of those things that acts all cute and friendly to gain your trust and then fucks shit up. Like this guy from Jurassic Park

[–]ohnastyrobo -1 points0 points ago

That's called a dinosaur.

[–]PiedWediBecso 0 points1 point ago

I have a pet one of these - she is awesome and smiley, and just as pink as this one after feeding. But no, not wtf worthy at all

[–]Taer 0 points1 point ago

so if i get a tank of these bad boys can i grow melange?

[–]Astrocat47 0 points1 point ago

This is r/aww worthy

[–]picla09 3 points4 points ago

Mudkip.

[–]hushnowquietnow 2 points3 points ago

I think you should cross-post this little guy to /r/aww - nobody's going to tell you it doesn't belong there.

[–]reddit_beats_college -1 points0 points ago

That's just a water dog.

[–]CaptainTim1982 -1 points0 points ago

Not a sea creature....

[–]hatremover 0 points1 point ago

Dude - string bet!

[–]tomthirtysecondnotes 0 points1 point ago

[–]bondbenz007 0 points1 point ago

Axolotls are awesome. I take of 4 of them and they define cute

[–]FullSexWithAWoman 0 points1 point ago

Looks like a pokémon.

[–]ilanimage 0 points1 point ago

Dude those are adorable. Like pokemon in real life.

[–]Cakesnoball 0 points1 point ago

Fun fact: axolotl can regenerate limbs if they lose them, the only animal with such a capability.

[–]burgesj7 0 points1 point ago

I find it interesting how on Reddit the 'rules' are so strictly followed, yet those same people wouldn't follow the rules even at their job. "OMFG YOU BROKE THE RULES. Let me talk to you like the trash that you are!" Get over yourselves.

[–]hittheskids 0 points1 point ago

I mostly only know what an axolotl is because Hum is awesome.

Hum - Afternoon with the Axolotls

[–]hannahmacey 0 points1 point ago

My biology teacher in high school has two of these in our classroom. He is an interesting fellow.

[–]BlueKnight8907 0 points1 point ago

I think people used to eat these in Mexico. They've stopped though since they are almost extinct. So apart from being super cute, they are also super yummy!

Again, not sure if it's the same animal but the names looks familiar.

[–]steven_wlkr 0 points1 point ago

I feel like the people who put "I'll see your ___ and raise you ____" have never played a hand of poker in their lives...#yourdoingitwrong #somebodycheckraiseplease

[–]Forgetful_Rock 0 points1 point ago

You broke the rules. This isn't WTF. This is a fucking axolotl. They are fucking cute. I am not throwing up or regretting looking at this picture. It meets no requirements of being in here.

[–]irascib1e 0 points1 point ago

The axolotl is a common ancestor for all humans. The ancient axolotl was alive during the timeline when life was starting to emerge from water and onto land.

[–]QuesoSc2 0 points1 point ago

mother of god... it's like a pokemon

[–]Mikey_Red 0 points1 point ago

My favorite!

[–]Doomsdayclock148 0 points1 point ago

[–]KittenPurrs 0 points1 point ago

If this is the axolotl from the Julio Cortazar story, it may indeed be a little WTF.

[–]wirette 0 points1 point ago

I love these guys, they're so happy! :D

[–]thefifth5 0 points1 point ago

This is an albino axolotl, the non-albino ones are VERY creepy

[–]Cyberogue 0 points1 point ago
