British 10-year-old uncovers UK's first wild axolotl in a Welsh river

A British 10-year-old, Evie Hill, found an injured axolotl in the Ogmore River in Bridgend, Wales—the first confirmed axolotl living wild in the UK. Axolotls are endangered and native to Mexico; with only about 50 to 1,000 remaining in the wild, the family named the animal 'Dippy' and plan to care for it in a larger tank after consulting experts, while authorities remind that releasing non-native species is illegal.
