The lack of regeneration in other species is weird ... for instance, we supposedly have the genes to do it, but they’re deactivated (after this long they probably wouldn’t work super well if turned back on anyway).

who knows...Seems mostly amphibians and some reptile regenerate...although starfish do as well, but I’ve never heard of any other species that can regenerate most of it’s parts.

Now we must find a way to stop the contamination of it-s environment.

So many species are ending their lives because of the pollution on the sea. Remember, so many sharks killed themselves few months back here...

“One of the coolest things about Axolotl - apart from their appearance - is they ability to regenerate most body parts. “

Too bad it can’t regenerate it’s environment.

OR, we should at least save the species that have special abilities so that we can study them apply them to ourselves one day

shaun...

I agree, it is sickening that nothing is really being done to save it’s environment...It is said there are less than 400 in existance.

The presence of limbs and gills on the same organism is strange. Is this creature evolving from a fish to a land animal. It definitely looks that way.

some call it the mexican ”walking fish”, but it is not a fish at all..it is an amphibian..although it IS odd that as an amphibian, it seldom if ever leaves the water to enter land.

it does have lungs, but breathes primarily thru it’s gills and skin..

it is also unique, because it never enters metamorphosis, so the adults remain aquatic and gilled. they grow their legs, lungs, etc like other anphibians, but keep their gills, etc as well.

The smile is amazingly cute... and if this animal is proved to be as beneficial as thought then that would make it even cuter... can you imagine how many people could use this?!!! I would like to be updated on further researches Oscar :)

it is cute, reminds me of sometype of cartoon drawing Isa would draw...

If what researchers have found can truley be utilized in humans, it would be a true, modern day miracle ”cure” with endless benefits for millions of people .
