Amphibian

The Axolotl

The axolotl, a Mexican amphibian with amazing regenerative abilities, represents a unique and fragile species, underscoring the need for the preservation of aquatic habitats.

A fascinating creature

An aquatic treasure with regenerative powers

Unlike other amphibians, the axolotl retains its larval characteristics throughout its entire life, remaining aquatic and keeping its external gills. This gives it a unique appearance, with smooth skin, gills extending from each side of its head, and small, piercing eyes.

One of the most astonishing features of the axolotl is its exceptional regenerative ability. It can regenerate body parts, including limbs, the tail, and even internal organs. This capacity has sparked keen interest in the field of medical research, offering fascinating prospects for understanding and promoting tissue regeneration in other species, including humans. Unfortunately, the axolotl is now an endangered species due to the loss of its natural habitat and water pollution, underscoring the importance of conservation to preserve this amazing creature with extraordinary powers.
