Where are axolotl's ponds in North Carolina?
Axolotls are not native to North Carolina; they are originally from the lakes of Xochimilco in Mexico. However, they can be found in captivity in various aquariums and pet stores across the state. In North Carolina, they're often kept as pets rather than being found in natural ponds or environments. Due to their specific habitat needs, they thrive best in controlled conditions rather than in the wild.

What adaptations does a Mexican axolotl have?
Axolotls can change from aquatic animals to land animals. And also, they only live in one lake in Mexico so they are all Mexican and therefore there is no need to write 'Mexican' in front of 'axolotl'.
Can you put axolotl and betta fish in the same tank?
No, this isn't a good idea. The betta might nibble the axolotl's delicate gills, and a big axolotl could swallow a betta, but the most obvious reason why the two are incompatible is that they prefer very different water temperatures. Bettas are tropical fish that require relatively high temperatures of 25-30 degrees Celsius, whereas axolotls prefer their water cooler, around 15 degrees.
Do you need to filter the water in the tank of an axolotl?
Yes. It is nessesary to have a filter to keep the water moving and oxygenated. It is also helpful because the water's movement mimics the movement of water in the axolotl's natural habitat. Just make sure that the water does not move too quickly because it could be harmful. If the axolotl is not moved around by the filter and you can not see a current in the water (except above the filter and in its immediate area) then the filter is on too high. Be sure to change the filter regularly as much as needed. Every axolotl is different and thus the filter will become dirty at different times.

Do axolotls grow back their legs?
Yes, axolotls are known for their remarkable regeneration abilities, which include the ability to regrow their legs and other body parts. If an axolotl loses a leg due to injury or amputation, it can regenerate a fully functional limb over time. This regenerative process involves complex biological mechanisms, including the formation of a blastema, which is a mass of cells that can develop into various tissues. This ability makes axolotls a subject of significant interest in scientific research on regeneration.
