Mexican walking fish
The axolotl also known as a Mexican
salamander (Ambystoma mexicanum) or a Mexican walking fish, is a
neotenic salamander, closely related to the tiger salamander. Although
the axolotl is colloquially known as a "walking fish", it is not a fish,
but an amphibian. The species originates from numerous lakes, such as
Lake Xochimilco underlying Mexico City. Larvae of this species fail to
undergo metamorphosis, so the adults remain aquatic and gilled.
