Did you know? - Axolotls are a type of salamander and spend all of their lives in the water. They are only found in a single location on Earth - the freshwater Lake Xochimilco, which are located near Mexico City in North America. -Axolotl gills appear as feathery appendages on the outside of their bodies. It makes them super recognisable – and very cute to boot! -Many people say they look like they’re always smiling due to the shape of their mouths. -Axolotls have zero teeth, but have a surprisingly strong sucking force which use to crush and devour their prey. -Axolotls can regrow their own body parts: hands, feet , tails and even organs. Yep, you read that correctly and this isn’t the stuff of science fiction. Don't try it on the plushie, though ;) -Masters of camouflage, axolotls can adjust their colours to hide from predators and prey. -Axolotls vary in colour from brown to pink to green.
