Class mascot
The class mascot should defiantly be the marbled salamander (Ambystoma opacum). It is freaking awesome thats why
Amphibians definitely do defy many assumptions about terrestrial vertebrates. And now I can't shake the mental image of a defiant salamander - an amphibian with attitude - raising it's four-fingered fist into the air. Freaking awesome? Heck, yeah!
Defiantly: fortuitous typo or Freudian slip?
