The Axolotl

The Axolotl never goes through metamorphosis.

Axolotls only live in one place in the wild: in a few lakes in Mexico. There are only 50 to 1000 left in the wild.

Axolotls are carnivores and will eat anything they can fit in their mouths including worms, molluscs and small fish.

The Axolotl has a superpower! It can regenerate its limbs, eyes, heart, even parts of its brain!

Axolotls can also be found as pets and in research labs.

Companies such as Mojang, who make Minecraft, have made more people realise how endangered Axolotls are by making them rare in the game.

    I always thought the axylotyl was a mythical creature so have learned lots. I wonder what their favourite type of habitat is? Warm clear waters, or something colder? Emma
