2. Fun Facts About Axolotl Coloring Pages
Want to know some secrets about these little guys? Knowing some cool trivia makes coloring them even more fun.
- Plot Twist: They’re Not Fish!
Many people refer to them as “walking fish,” but that is not correct at all! The axolotl is in fact a species of salamander, a close relative of a frog; both are amphibians.
But here’s the weird thing: they more or less stay kids forever. It’s like a tadpole that matures but never completes the metamorphosis. So instead it can keep its fluffy gills and live in the water forever!
- They Have an Actual SUPERPOWER!
This is something out of a comic book. And the axolotls can actually regenerate their body parts! If it loses a leg; it simply grows another. They can even regenerate limbs, parts of their heart, and even sections of their brain!
Now, scientists are taking a closer look to see how they manage this amazing trick.
- They’re Very Rare in the Wild
This part is a little bit sad, but it’s necessary. Although you might think of axolotls as pets, they are nearly extinct in their native habitats. They don’t just live on the edge; they are, in fact, “critically endangered,” which represents a very serious warning.
They only inhabit a couple of particular lakes in and around Mexico City. This is a reminder for the need to take care of our planet and our waters for wonderful animals like axolotl.
- They’re Little Rockstars!
Axolotls have become celebrities! You may have seen them in the game Minecraft, where you can find them in underwater caves. Being popular in video games and on the internet has allowed people from around the world get to know how extraordinary and special these creatures are.
