Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum)

Axolotls are also known as Mexican Salamanders. They are amphibians that used to live in the lakes of Central Mexico. Unfortunately, to this day there is only one lake where they remain: Lake Xochimilco.

Their nutrition is composed of insects, worms and tiny fishes.

If you feel familiar with their appearance, it might be from your childhood memories. If you have played or watched Pokemon, these small creatures inspired the Pokemon called Wooper.
