What are some physical characteristics of a mecican axolotl?

Answer 1

Mexican axolotls, also known as Ambystoma mexicanum, have distinct physical characteristics including a wide, flat head, external gills that resemble feathery structures, and a slender body. They typically exhibit a range of colors, from wild-type dark brown or black to leucistic (pale pink) and albino. Their limbs are short, and they possess a long, finned tail that aids in swimming. Adult axolotls retain their larval features throughout their lives, a phenomenon known as neoteny.
