The axolotl, a tailed amphibian, is a marvel of evolution. It can regenerate injured body parts and is exceptionally long-lived. However, the axolotl is only found in Mexico, and its habitat is disappearing. The axolotl is a primitive species of salamander shrouded in numerous myths and legends – primarily due to its extraordinary ability to regenerate. It can completely recreate lost limbs and even renew damaged organs such as the heart or pancreas. This special ability could present new possibilities in medicine.
