Axolotls are a type of salamander but unlike salamanders, they do not routinely undergo metamorphosis from the larval (with gills) to adult form and remain aquatic their entire life.
commonly seen in the remaining canals of Xochimilcho Lake is the nearly black axolotl.

Imagine being able to grow a new limb. The Axolotl— a type of aquatic salamander—can do just that. If an Axolotl is injured, its body responds by regrowing the lost part instead of forming a scar. This is a handy trick when you’ve just had a close encounter with a heron— the Axolotl’s main predator. Although they live for 10–15 years, Axolotls also never really grow up. Other amphibians have gills when young and develop airbreathing lungs when they mature, but Axolotls keep their branchlike gills as they grow bigger—and only lose them if their habitat dries up.
