I hadn't heard of an Axolotl until I read the excellent book, "The ancestor's tale " by Richard Dawkins. In the chapter 'Axolotl's tale' he explains more about neoteny or progenesis, the evolutionary consequence of which is called paedomorphosis. The axolotl is just an extreme among salamanders. Many species seem to be , to some extent, paedomorphic, others do other heterochronically interesting things. Axolotls treated with thyroxine lose their gills and become dry land salamanders.
HOLY CRAP! This video is amazing, your music choice just goes so freaking well with the cute little axolotl in the background doing its thing and being cute as heck. Great video.
...and I just realized how pathetic it is, that I know that....
That said, they're adorable.
Don't feel bad about keeping them as pets either, breeding in captivity is the only thing saving these poor creatures from extinction. If I remember correctly, they're endangered in nature.
oh my god this is the cutest thing ever, have the chopsticks next to his head really shows how small he is.
I have two golden ones and they are much larger, and both girls. I wish one was a boy so I could have a baby :( oh well I'm looking to buy a bigger tank soon, maybe I'll also get a boy and have them make a big axolotl family haha
It is a type of salamander,.. it lives most of it's life in the larva stage. When it exists the larva stage it is near the end of its life. This is almost an extinct species and should not be kept as pets :(
Dude, I was planning on buying an Axolotl but then I heard people say that Axolotls are an endangered species and it is considered illegal to sell/buy them. I was wondering if its really true that you cant buy one. They look so freaking cute.
Please PLEASE don't let these incredible creatures go extinct! PEOPLE, don't buy these if you know nothing about them. They WILL die. CHECK that they haven't been stolen from their natural habitat in Mexico to be sold. If they die in your care it will be EXTRA sad because they are so rare, so cute and so beautiful. I'm afraid they will be the next cute thing on top ten of animal traficers from Mexico. I don't want to blame anyone. Please don't hate me.
I really want one, too bad they don't just let you walk into Pet Smart or Pet Co and just see a giant sign that says "Axolotls" and a huge tank full of them :[
@JuniperSprouts I do not think that they are known in Japan or China, but here in Mexico is believed to cure disease, but as they are endangered and can not do more research
I have one of these, a black female called Medusa. She often follows me around, they are very smart and seem to recognise their owners, as my one does. :)
I used to work at a store that had them. They are extremely sensitive. Can have other fish in there with them because the fish ALWAYS peck at the little exposed freshy stringy things coming off of their gills. I mean any fish picks at them there are a very few amount of fish that won't. Not for the beginners; they are extremely picky eaters. The food they like pollutes the tanks quickly so you really have to know what you are doing
are they hoooonestly happy just ina plane tank of water?...
