3.Axolotls

Oh my god, I see a Pokemon! Well, they are not

Pokemon but a Mexican walking amphibian named
th
axolotl. Unbelievably, in the 13 century, they were
already settled in the valley of Mexico. Their appealing
appearance and charisma make them one of the most

popular pets in the world. Axolotls can be found in a
variety of colors including black, grey, golden, albino,
white with black eyes, and other colors. They are
relatively easy to care for but they live their entire lives

in water and disappointedly they can’t be found in
Hong Kong. Therefore, Hongkongers, especially girls,
would be very jealous of those who own an axolotl!

4.Sugar Gliders

Just like the name, sugar gliders are “as
sweet as sugar” because of their passionate and
sociable nature and characteristics. They are
native and commonplace as pets in Australia.

You know what, I’m extraordinarily fascinated
by their huge and gigantic eyes! Their eyes offer them a
large field of vision that they use them to defend and protect
themselves in dangerous situations like when being attacked

by other animals in the wild. How wonderful would it be if
they could be found in Hong Kong! In fact, it is forbidden and
illegal to import them throughout different countries.

I’m sure all of your horizons have been broadened by knowing more about these unique
pets and the eye-opening facts about them. Despite the fact that these lovely species cannot be

our ‘private property’, it is pleasurable and relaxing to appreciate them. Life is always like that; it
is not possible to get all the things we desire but what we can control is our thoughts. If you can

look at the bright side of things, you can see the beauty of the world.
