0 a small animal that lives in water and looks like a fish with four legs. An axolotl is a type of amphibian (= an animal that usually lives both on land and in water) but it only lives in water.
Axoloapa shows the presence of axolotl (salamander) and possibly provides the name of the adjacent barranca.
The role of germinal vesicle for the appearance of maturation promoting factor activity in the axolotl oocyte.
Axolotls are unusual among amphibians in that they reach adulthood without undergoing metamorphosis.
Axolotls can also eat feeder fish, but care should be taken as fish left in the tank may graze on the axolotls' exposed gills.
However, some need to be maintained because the axolotls are using them for reproduction purposes.
Similar traits are found in the extant axolotl.
Axolotls have barely visible vestigial teeth, which would have developed during metamorphosis.
Several species indigenous to the lake are now extinct or endangered (e.g. axolotls).
