Axolotl: The Eternal Youth of the Animal Kingdom

The axolotl, known as the “Mexican walking fish,” defies nature. Neoteny keeps the axolotl young and larval, unlike other salamanders. The amphibian's ability to regenerate limbs, spinal cords, and even sections of its heart and brain makes it unique. This “Peter Pan” of the animal world, native to Mexico's ancient lakes, is a natural wonder and a pioneer in scientific investigation. Unfortunately, habitat devastation has made the axolotl severely endangered, making its protection more important than ever.
