The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is a neotenic salamander, meaning it retains its larval features throughout adulthood. It is native to Lake Xochimilco and Lake Chalco in Mexico City, but both lakes are now highly polluted and fragmented, and the axolotl is critically endangered in the wild.

Axolotls are known for their unique appearance, with large heads, feathery gills, and long tails. They can be a variety of colors, including pink, white, brown, and black. Axolotls are also known for their regenerative abilities, and can regrow limbs, tails, and even parts of their brains.

Habitat

Axolotls are aquatic animals and live in lakes, ponds, and canals. They prefer cool, well-oxygenated water with a muddy bottom. Axolotls are nocturnal animals and spend the day hiding in rocks and plants. At night, they come out to feed.

Diet

Axolotls are carnivores and eat a variety of aquatic invertebrates, including worms, insects, crustaceans, and small fish. They also eat other axolotls, especially juveniles. Axolotls have poor eyesight, so they rely on their sense of smell to find food. They suck in their food through their small mouths.

Conservation

Axolotls are critically endangered in the wild due to habitat loss, pollution, and invasive species. However, axolotls are bred in captivity all over the world, and there is a growing interest in keeping them as pets.
