Endangered Species

A sample of a pair of endangered animals, the axolotl and the Angonoka tortoise transformed into LEGO, which serves as decoration for the home, with a striking minimalist aesthetic.

I designed this gift set so that people know and become aware about animals in danger of extinction.

Some information about this turtle: The rarest turtle in the world takes 15 years to reach breeding age. This makes every egg stolen, or every tree or bush felled, a crushing setback for this species on the brink of extinction. The Angonoka tortoise - Astrochelys yniphora - was believed to have already disappeared, but in 1984 it was rediscovered in northwestern Madagascar.

And a few things about the axolotl: Axolotls reach looking adulthood like larvae, preserving its gills and tail. This causes them to not develop physically, but they regenerate. The axolotl, as it is also known, grows limbs, bones and organs that have been damaged or cut off.
