Two critically endangered amphibians have found a new home.

SeaWorld San Diego recently acquired two, 10-month-old axolotls, which will be available for public display at the theme park's new Bayside Aquarium , starting Aug. 8, Eric Otjen, vice president of zoological operations, told USA TODAY. Their names are Poppy and Debra.
