Imagine an aquatic wonder - the axolotl, often referred to as the "Mexican walking fish," even though it's not a fish at all. This extraordinary amphibian retains its juvenile features throughout its life, including external gills and a feathery frill. What truly sets them apart is their remarkable regenerative ability; axolotls can regrow entire limbs, spinal cord, and even parts of their heart. These creatures are native to Xochimilco, Mexico, and are critically endangered in the wild, making them subjects of intense scientific interest for their regenerative potential and their unique appearance in the world of amphibians.
