Axolotl : Unveiling the Mysteries of Nature's Cutest Amphibian

Local to Lake Xochimilco underneath Mexico City, these basically imperiled animals look similar to the Pokemon Mudkip. They range in size from 6-12 inches, with the better quality being very uncommon. Generally fascinating, maybe, is the way that Axolotl show neoteny, the peculiarity where a creature arrives at development without a transformation. Consider a caterpillar made its casing, invested all that energy, and afterward returned out as a somewhat bigger caterpillar! Astonishing!
