Axolotl Antics
During the day, our axolotl burrows into aquatic vegetation and mud. At night, he’s animated, hungry and very active! Whether he’s climbing on rocks, burrowing into vegetation or looking for a snack, he always has a mischievous grin.
Axolotls are not only cute but also impressive. They can shift their hue a few shades lighter or darker as needed for camouflage, AND they can regenerate their limbs, lungs, heart, jaws, spines, and even parts of their brain! Skin, bone, cartilage, muscle, and stem cells can regenerate countless times and be completely functional.
Axolotls are common as pets but critically endangered in the wild. Native only to Lake Xochimilco and Lake Chalco, both in Mexico City, axolotls have dwindled due to habitat loss and pollution.
Cheers to LEGO for encouraging us to share our axolotl appreciation in brick form!
