Axolotls are incredible amphibians who, instead of morphing into their final adult form as most other amphibians do, remain in a state of never growing up! They remain fully aquatic and spend their entire lives underwater, breathing with beautiful, feather-like external gills. Axolotls are amazing for so many reasons, especially for their ability to regenerate any & all body parts if needed, & have been shown to regrow their limbs, tails, gills, & internal organs (even their brains!!)
