Diet

This carnivorous animal eats a mixture of insect larvae (scuh as mosquitoes) worms, snails and other mollusk, tadpoles, and small fish in the wild.Their diet appears to be particulary heavy in worms, but they're not exactly kinds of food that consume.

Axolotls have cilindrycal bodies, short legs, a relatively long tail and feathery external gills.The axolotls have four toes on the front feet and five toes on the back feet.Most of them are black or mottled brown but also we have some with white skin and pink and red gills, the gills that they have on they heads are for breathing.

Unlike other salamnders that undergo metamorphosis, axolotls never outgrow their larval, juvenile stage, a phenomenon called neoteny. This means it maintains its padpole-shaped dorsal fin, wich extends almost the entire lenght of his body, and its feathery external gills, wich protude from the back of its broad head.Their juvenile features include feathery gills that sprout from their heads like a mane, webbet feat, a dorsal fin that runs the lenght of their body, and a tail

Caracterictics

To begin thinking about how to accomplish human limb, the scientist have take note of animals that alredy show this ability.A prime example of this is the axolotl that can regenerate his limbs and spine, and its believed that they can regenerate they heads and hearts, this is why we called them THE GODS OF CREATION.

Can axolotles regenerate?
