Also I found a picture of a chonky axolotl on Wikipedia.

Another neotenic salamander species is the Olm[0], which is an old world species that is blind and lives in caves.

Also according to Wikipedia, the name for Bonobos (formally known as Pygmy Chimpanzees despite being a seperate species) comes from a mispelling. [0]

[0] "The name is thought to be a misspelling on a shipping crate from the town of Bolobo on the Congo River near the location from which the first bonobo specimens were collected in the 1920s." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonobo

TIL that axolotl are neotenic.[0] There are rare instancea of axolotl going through metamorphosis to become terrestrial. However, if this occurs after sexual maturity the axolotl will not survive more than one or two years.[1]

An article describing the distinction between Hieroglyphic, Cursive Hieroglyphic, and Hieratic Text:

In fact Hieratics were actually much more commonly used than Hieroglyphics[0].

TIL I learned that Hieroglyphs had multiple cursive forms used outside of inscriptions.
