A close-up video shows a pale pink axolotl with feathery external gills submerged in clear water within a transparent plastic cup. The axolotl is white and pink, with visible limbs and digits. Its eyes are dark and round. The cup is sitting on a white surface, and a blurry background includes a framed picture and some decorative items. A small brown pellet, possibly food, is visible floating on the surface of the water. The axolotl moves slightly, its gills fanning out.
