The Mexican axolotl is a fascinating aquatic creature considered a symbol of exceptional regenerative ability. This endemic species inhabits the lakes Xochimilco and Chalco in Mexico, where it occurs in flowing water with a clean bottom. It is an amphibian that remains in its larval stage for most of its life, meaning it retains its gilled form throughout its life cycle. The axolotl is unique not only in appearance but also in its ability to regenerate almost any part of its body, including the brain, heart, and even limbs. This ability gives it a significant advantage for survival and research. Unfortunately, the axolotl is a critically endangered species, primarily due to the loss of its natural habitat and the pollution of waterways. Its unique nature and regenerative abilities, however, attract the attention of scientists and enthusiasts of exotic fauna around the world.
