Axolotl

Ambystoma Mexicanum (Amphibian, Urodeles)

 

That species lives in the Lac Xochimilco and can reach a maximum length of 30cm.

It is a salamander that will spend its entire life in the larval stage due to a deficient thyroid but will be able to reproduce. (MNHN)

Photographed at the Ménagerie du Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris

 

I have never seen or heard about this creature so I figured I would show you one!! Though to get a clear picture through the glass but here we are!
