What is axolote?

• The axolotl is a type of salamander that is native to Mexico.
• They are also known as the Mexican walking fish, although they are not fish but amphibians.
• Axolotls have the unique ability to regenerate lost body parts, such as limbs or even parts of their brain.
• They are mostly found in freshwater lakes and canals, where they feed on small fish, insects, and other aquatic animals.
• Axolotls are popular as pets due to their cute appearance and ease of care. They can live up to 15 years in captivity.
• They are under threat in the wild due to habitat loss, pollution, and the introduction of non-native species.
• In recent years, scientists have been studying the axolotl's regenerative abilities in hopes of applying it to human medicine, such as regrowing damaged tissue or organs.
