Axolotls (pronounced ak·suh·laa·tls) are aquatic salamanders that are found in the wild in only one place, Lake Xochimilco in Mexico City. These critically endangered amphibians are also popular as pets and are bred in captivity for scientific research due to their unique ability to regrow body parts. Habitat destruction and the introduction of invasive fish species have led to a dramatic decline in the axolotl population.These amphibians are small in size, come in a range of colors, and maintain their larval traits throughout their entire lives. Their unusual appearance, often featuring bright pink skin and frilly headdresses (which are their gills, in fact), has made them beloved by many fans around the world. This one features a knitted texture with minimal supports to support that texture. Find the articulated version here with moving head and legs.
