The axolotl is endangered because of the draining of its habitat lakes, the pollution of the bodies of water in which it resides, and the introduction of nonnative fish, such as the African Tilapia, which eat its eggs and food.

Because the river in Mexico where all Axolotl originate from and where the highest population of Axolotl live has been partially destroyed because it was flooding too often into the villages around it so they filled it in. This killed many axolotls and destroyed the main part of their breeding ground.

The axolotl also known as the Mexican walking fish is VERY rare because most of them have died in the open because they are so small and harmless :)
