The Axolotl:
An Axolotl (a.k.a. Mexican Salamander) is a special type of Salamander that can actually heal itself! For example if it loses a limb such as an arm, it will easily grow it back in just a few weeks. Still not impressed? If an Axolotl somehow damages an organ such as the heart, it can easily heal that too with no medication at all! Axolotls can heal anything attached to their body, such as bones, muscles, blood vessels, nerves, skin, and as mentioned earlier, even organs! They are native to Lake Xochimilco and Lake Chalco found in Central Mexico. They are found in various colours/patterns and when an adult, can range from 15cm - 45cm. With this knowledge of the Self - Healing Axolotl, scientists are now trying to figure out what allows the Axolotl to heal itself and they are trying to pass on these traits to humans!Fun Fact: Axolotls were also sold as food in Mexican Markets and were a staple food to the Aztec Diet. But if you want, Axolotls can make great house pets too.
