Axolotl Also known as the Mexican Walking Fish, this amphibious salamander is critically endangered, and nearly went extinct in 2010. They’re weird animals because they don’t go into metamorphosis like other salamanders: Even adults remain aquatic and gilled. They’re frequently used for research by scientists due to their ability to regenerate limbs. Once a staple of the Aztec diet, they’re now the focus of conservation efforts in Mexico City, where local NGOs are building “Axolotl shelters.” #info #EverythingsInfo
