Axolot

Description

Here are some cool facts about axolotls:

• 🌊 Habitat: They are native to lakes around Mexico City, especially Lake Xochimilco.

• 🧬 Regeneration: Axolotls can regrow limbs, parts of their heart, spine, and even parts of their brain!

• 🐣 Neoteny: Unlike most amphibians, they stay in their larval form for life and never undergo full metamorphosis.

• 🌸 Appearance: They often have feathery external gills, a wide smiley mouth, and come in colors like pink (leucistic), golden, black (melanoid), and wild type (greenish-brown).

• 💧 Endangered: In the wild, axolotls are critically endangered due to habitat loss and pollution.
