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.

Why does the Mexican Axolotl live in one lake?

The Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is endemic to Lake Xochimilco, a unique freshwater habitat in Mexico City. This lake's specific environmental conditions, such as its temperature, water chemistry, and availability of food sources, support the axolotl's survival. Additionally, urbanization and habitat degradation have confined this species to this single lake, making it critically endangered and reliant on this limited ecosystem. Conservation efforts are essential to protect their remaining natural habitat.


What abiotic factors that are making the Mexican Axolotl endangered?

The Mexican Axolotl is endangered primarily due to habitat loss, particularly from urbanization and the draining of its natural lakes in Mexico City. Water pollution from agricultural runoff and industrial waste has degraded its aquatic environment, impacting its health and survival. Additionally, changes in water temperature and availability due to climate change further threaten its delicate ecosystem. These abiotic factors collectively contribute to the decline of this unique amphibian species.
