The Axolotl is native to the freshwater canals and lakes of Mexico City, specifically in the region of Xochimilco.
The Axolotl is a type of salamander that is found exclusively in the freshwater canals and lakes of Mexico City's Xochimilco region. It is also known as the "Mexican Walking Fish" due to its distinctive appearance and its ability to regenerate lost body parts. The Axolotl is critically endangered in the wild due to habitat loss and pollution, and it is also popular as a laboratory animal for scientific research due to its unique regenerative abilities. In recent years, captive breeding programs have been established to help conserve this species.
