Axolotl or Axoloti

About Axolotl :
Ambystoma mexicanum is the zoological name of Axolotl. The name "Axolotl" is derived from the Aztec language, "Nahuatl". It means the God of deformations and death. The Axolotl is one of the seven ugliest animals in the world. It is of Mexican origin and from the Salamander clan of species.

However, the fact is that they are amphibians, which are a separate group of animals.

Axolotl care :
Axolotl are very easy to take care, as they only require to be fed after every three to four days. They can survive on tadpoles, worms and some very small marine fish. They are not very amiable within their own species or you can say within their own community.

Diet for Axolotl :
Axolotls are carnivores sea animals, they require everyday a meat-based diet. Their teeth come into their own when they are trying to grip something slippery like an earthworm or white worm.
