Why an axolotl is weird...


 Why an axolotl is weird...



The axolotl is a very interesting fish, but it's not a fish it's an amphibian. Their worst threats are humans because they pollute the water and axolotls are a delicacy in Mexico. But their other threats are herons and bigger axolotls. They eat each other!

Axolotls are very clever creatures. While they eat each other,if a limb gets cut off, they  can regenerate.  Scientists have even made one grow two heads.

Another reason you might think an axolotl is weird is they have frills. These look like worms and are really their gills. Fish always have these on the inside of their body but axolotls have them on the outside. They are external gills.


As you have heard, if you saw an axolotl you would think that it was really weird.
