Axolotls

You heard me right axolotls. I just wanna state my opinion. I kept hearing axolotls, and looks like they were a trend I'm like, "what are axolotls anyway?" So I serched this up and got images that look like this:

And I was like "wait, I saw this on some kind of documentary show or something? Why is this a trend? I mean the fan art is really cute but the reality...." Why, why is this a trend I mean look at it. I asked my mom freaky or cute? She said and I quote "freaky" this is just my opinion but I'm really confused.
