Looks like an axolotl, but I'm reluctant to look closer, since according to John Hodgman, if you look at one too long, you will turn into one.
As I recall, in addition to being the real world animal that most looks like a Pokemon, they're also technically immortal: they never grow old and can't die of old age.

The ones I've seen before were black, but you don't forget an axolotl once you've seen one. I wonder if this is a different kind or a different stage or something.
They eat them in Japan.

An albino mud puppy!
The kids in Tennessee, where I grew up, would catch the ordinary ones and keep them as pets.
This looks the same, but devoid of pigment, hence the "albino" part.
