Axolotls

Axolotls are most likely 12 inches in size and weigh around 10.5 ounces.

Their scientific name is Ambystoma Mexicanum. They live permanently in water, and are found in the lake Xochimilco just outside of Mexico.

Axolotls come in 5 basic colors like, dark green, orange, pink, white and golden.

They have 6 feathery gills which is their most recognizable part. 

It has quite a slim, small flat body with a large head.

People say that some Axolotls can have silver highlights on their skin.

Axolotls eat pretty much anything that they can catch, such as.. Crustaceans, mollusks, insect larvae and some fish. When Axolotls move around or when they are trying to find something to eat they have to be careful because of their predators. Its hard for Axolotls to hide from their predators because most of them are birds like, Storks, Herons ETC. They also have large fish that like to eat them, and they are much easier to hide from since Axolotls are very small.

As you could probably tell Axolotls are harmless to humans unless.. You pick one up with any other fish.

Axolotls are very aggressive to other fish and each other. They bite off each others gills, feet, tails, but luckily the have the amazing ability to regrow skin, body parts, bones and even muscles!

So if they get hurt they can easily regrow whatever they lost back.
