Rare axolotl found under Welsh bridge probably an abandoned pet, say experts

A rare axolotl was discovered under a bridge in Merthyr Mawr, Wales, likely abandoned by a pet owner. The 22cm salamander, named Dippy, was found by 10-year-old Evie Hill and is believed to be the first of its kind found in the wild in the UK. Experts warn against releasing pets into the wild due to welfare concerns.
