Our Axolotls, Axel and Lottie have been a great hit so far in the aquarium! But many people are unsure what they are and where they are from? So we have put together a little fact sheet to let everyone know some cool facts about these amazing animals.
Axolotls are critically endangered, fully aquatic salamanders native only to the Lake Xochimilco basin in Mexico. Often called "Mexican walking fish" or "water monsters," they are famous for never outgrowing their juvenile form and possessing the miraculous ability to regrow lost limbs, hearts, and brain.
We run tours every 45 minutes starting at 10:00am tomorrow so why not say hello to Axel and Lottie in person and learn more about the amazing creatures that live under the waves.
