  7. Where does it live ? Axolotl lives in water . The Axolotl lives only in Lake Xochimilco and Lake Chalco in central Mexico. Unfortunately, Lake Chalco no longer exists, and Lake Xochimilco is now only a network of canals and lagoons.

  8. What does it eat ? The axolotl is meat-eater, it consumes small fauna - snails, worms, insects and small fish and amphibians. Axolotls locate food by smell.

  9. Interesting... Axolotls are used in scientific research due to their ability to regenerate limbs. The axolotl is able of complete limb re-growth.

  10. Why do I like it ? I like it because of its interesting but difficult name. I like it because he looks like he is smiling. The Axolotl is a fascinating creature for a number of reasons - its funny looks, its ability to regenerate, and the phenomenon known as neoteny.
