Axolotl

Yes. Cats are killers by nature and, like man, will kill small things for fun if they can get at them.

They are, in fact, very similar to Frog Spawn and are generally laid upon plants. They look like Brown/Black 'dots' coated with a clear membrane - though a lack of pigment in the egg would suggest that one parent was an Albino Axolotl. Sometimes, though, pigment appears later in the development.

Yes

I think what you're referring to are the gills.?

No, after about a month and a half they leave their children and let them go.

Axolotls are unique for their ability to regenerate lost body parts, including limbs, spinal cord, heart, and even parts of their brain. This remarkable regenerative capability is largely due to their special cells called blastemal cells, which can transform into various types of tissues. Additionally, axolotls retain their larval features throughout their life, a condition known as neoteny, which is uncommon in amphibians. This combination of regeneration and neoteny sets axolotls apart from other species.

Yes, you can have Mexican axolotls in Montana, but it's important to check local regulations first. Axolotls are generally allowed as pets in many states, but specific rules may vary. Ensure you have a proper setup to care for them, including an appropriate tank, water quality, and diet. Always source your axolotls from reputable breeders to avoid the risk of introducing diseases.

Yes, axolotls are illegal in Hawaii. They are classified as a restricted species due to concerns about their potential impact on local ecosystems if they were to escape or be released into the wild. Hawaii has strict regulations regarding the importation and possession of certain animals to protect its unique environment and native species.

Axolotls have four legs that they use for swimming as well as crawling. They can re-generate these up to eight times, and although sometimes at crooked angles, they usually have full flexibility and usage.

The axolotl is banned in California due to its classification as an invasive species. Its ability to thrive and reproduce in local ecosystems poses a threat to native wildlife and habitats. The state aims to protect its biodiversity by preventing the introduction and spread of non-native species like the axolotl. As a result, possession, importation, and transport of axolotls are prohibited in California.

Not 100% sure, but I did a little researched, and I found that they have been known since 1804!

You can, they will eat shrimp readily, but make sure uneaten shrimps are removed, becease they rot very easily.

Unfortunately, axolotl are a critically endangered species. As for the legality of owning one, that would depend on where you live. In many areas, ownership of an endangered species is prohibited by law. I recommend asking your local vetrinarian for more advice on animal ownership laws in your area.

French also uses the Nahuatl word axolotl to describe it.

No, they'll pinch the poor thing's head off!

An Axolotl is like a type of salamander so it is in the Amphibian vertebrate group :)
