I have two brothers, an older brother who lives in Groningen and a younger brother who still lives in Apeldoorn.<br \/>\nAt home I currently have 3 axolotls as pets. Now you might be wondering \u201cMarlinde, what is an axolotl?\u201d. An axolotl is a newt with a genetic defect called neoteny. This allows this species to live in the water forever. They live an average of 10 years, mine are currently 7, 4 and 3 years old.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rinagro-smart-farming.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/axolotls.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17312\" src=\"https:\/\/rinagro-smart-farming.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/axolotls.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"258\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rinagro-smart-farming.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/axolotls-200x116.jpg 200w, https:\/\/rinagro-smart-farming.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/axolotls.jpg 258w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 258px) 100vw, 258px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, I have a cat since mid-May!

After my studies, I was looking for work and was approached by Rinagro. After a few interviews, I was allowed to start here! I have a great passion and also some knowledge about nature, whereby I can immediately recognize a number of plant and animal species.<\/p>\n<p>I hope to have a nice time here doing research that will help both nature and the farmer.
