The Axolotl: A Unique Amphibian.
The axolotl (pronounced ACK-suh-lah-tuhl ) is a fascinating neotenic salamander, meaning it spends its entire life underwater and never develops into a land-dwelling adult. Native only to Mexico's Lake Xochimilco, it is critically endangered in the wild.
It is famous for its unique appearance: external feathery gills, a wide head, and a perpetual smile. Axolotls are renowned in science for their incredible ability to regenerate entire limbs, their spine, heart, and brain tissue without scarring.
This ability, combined with its unusual looks, has made it both a key subject for scientific research and a popular pet in the aquarium trade.
