Dwerp’z essay on The Axolotl Hello, this is my crappy essay on the Axolotl, aka the Mexican Salamander/Mexican Walking Fish. In 1325, the Aztecs founded the city of Tenochtitlan, on a small island in Lake Tex-coco, where axolotls mainly lived. Later, the Spanish raided {I think.} and drained the lake and killed hundreds of axolotls {so sad} and built the city of Mexico aka Mexico City. Scientific name: Ambystoma mexicanum. Conservation status: Critically Endangered (Population decreasing NOOO!). Length: 23 cm.

The axolotl is called a master of regeneration, and they are also very cool. The Axolotl was named after Xolotl, the Aztec god of death, by the Aztecs. GOD OF DEATH!!!! YEEEEEAAAAH! So, yeah it’s an amazing species. They have lungs!
