So fun fact: Yes, Xochimilco is the only place you could find them, but the primary reason they’re dying out is Tilapias and the boats aren’t helping. Tilapias were introduced because Xochimilco basically wanted more fishing tourism, and they get big enough to swallow the axolotls whole, additionally, axolotls are ambush predators and just hang out while it happens. Also, they’re not frogs, they breathe through gills and they actually have functional lungs. Their gills are the little branches on their head, which is why they are red, and they have lungs because they’re basically salamanders you evolved to never fully metamorphose to land creatures, but they still grow all the organs they might need.

I see a lot of people saying that they have seen axolotls elsewhere in the wild in bodies of freshwater. Just to inform those people, you are probably seeing the larval form of other species of salamanders. The thing is, all salamanders look like axolotls as babies. It's just that the axolotl stays in their larval form even into maturation.
@sneakyraptor1469

Im glad that many other endangered species who, let me remind you, are endangered BECAUSE of people are much harder to get to. Axolotls are endangered due to pollution, because they are a salamander species and thus are VERY sensitive to pollution, rising temps, and lower temps. Please never try to go find this species, or any endangered species. Unless you are *SAFELY* with a guide, trained professional and dont show exactly where you are going. I love spreading news on endangered species, but there are correct and incorrect ways to do this. This is an incorrect one. Going to find endangered species can be dangerous for yourself and the animals, if you possibly mess something up in their environment even while trying to help then you could possibly cause more harm than good. While axolotls are kept alive because of humans and thus wont go fully extinct if they all die in the wild you must remember that WE are the reason they have been dying in the wild. We took over their homes, put trash in their water ways, and, when they were easier to find, took many from the wild. While humans can be a key to keeping species alive and not extinct, we often are the reason they started to go extinct in the first place. I dont really expect people to read this far down but ill leave some info about what can happen when species fully go extinct in some places. Every animal in an ecosystem is important to that ecosystem in some way, some animals are predators, some are prey, some help spread trees and other plant, and some help indicate that an environment is healthy and thriving. Ill use the example from Yellowstone. During 1926, all of the wolves in Yellowstone National Park were hunted from the area. Due to the lack of predators, the prey animals, like Elk, flourished, but not for long. They quickly began to consume all of the plants in the area, not leaving any for other species like beavers, deer, and other herbivores. The beavers could no longer make dams because all the young trees they would normally use had been eaten or destroyed, and as time went on, the Elk started to live longer and longer, and started to gain illness and disease that would pass on (Normally an ill Elk would be first to be hunted by wolves, thus helping the herbs stay healthy). All of this happened from a SINGLE species going extinct in that location. Eventually the wolves were reintroduced in 1995 and have made their recovery from then on, but the area and animal populations are still recovering. While the disappearance of axolotls MIGHT not cause this extreme of a change, them being extinct in the wild means we have failed our fellow species, as axolotls are indicator species meaning with none there that the waters are heavily polluted. Take care of our earth, some stupid shit we do could be the ending of an entire environment, and the ending of nature as we know it, and we would have no one to blame but ourselves.
@montse3139

Besides the pollution, the first cause of their low wild population is because in the 60's-70's carps were introduced to the lake as a way for the population of the zone to have a source of alimentation (sorry not my native language), and the carps over poblated the lake hoarding the food resources for all the species in the lake, and eating the eggs of axolotls.

great comment, but it's not we, alright buddy. it's specifically the locals who introduced an invasive predator to their environment and did as much as possible to bring tourists in. It is never the tourists job to consider the environmental impact they're having on their vacation, it's the job of the locals and their government to ensure that the environment is maintained properly either with proper care or proper restrictions, if not both. I live in a tourist town, so I fucking know. I hate how environmentalists play this stupid game where "we did this to the environment, it's our fault" when there is obviously a very specific set of people at fault, and you're just trying to say shit to make everybody feel like they should be helping. It's fucking insufferable, and if your cause is worth helping in somebody's opinion, you won't have to guilt trip them into caring, they just will. It's why I'll never support causes like these, because the people behind them are just annoying and insufferable, and refuse to point the blame where it should be pointed because that would mean they can't try to guilt trip random people with no association into helping.

That means absolutely nothing. They still have their roles to fill in their ecosystem. Captive-raised animals are less likely to survive in the wild the longer they’re in captivity. If they go functionally extinct in the wild, it’ll be very difficult to reestablish a wild population later. Not to mention that captive-raised axolotls aren’t used to the same water as wild ones, and depending on how long that lineage of axolotl has been raised in captivity, their resistance to disease will be variable, but low.

Those were likely the larvae of another type of salamander. Axolotls retain their juvenile characteristics of being aquatic and having gills their whole lives, but most other salamanders lose their gills and become primarily terrestrial. Some ways to tell if it is a wild axolotl: -Is the salamander brown with very small dark dots and purple-brown gills, or is it a different color? -Am I at Lake Xochimilco, Mexico, or somewhere where an idiot would dump their pet? -How big is it, and what shape? Baby axolotls have pretty large heads compared to other baby salamanders. Adult axolotls are 8-12 inches long on average.

These were brown or yellow depending on the mud where we found them. The place was a small pod and you could tell it was quickly drying out. I prayed for rain for this little fellas. After doing some research with the locals, first Axolotl sight was right after the Covid quarentine . I guess we need less tourism and more preservation.

Such a shame there are so few of them left in the wild People need to draw more attention to these things so something can be done about it Hope this video at least helps with that

There's actually around 1,200 axolotl left in the wild and we know this because the researchers have been watching these animals for a while now it's so much of a well-known fact that even in Minecraft you have to breed 1,200 of them to get the blue one and they did that because that's exactly how many are left in wild.

What you found wasn't an axolotl it was most likely a young salamander since salamanders when they're young look exactly like axolotls before they lose their gills and go onto land and live in water still kind of axolotls are basically salamanders that never grew up axolotls or wild axolotls are only ever found in that one pond in Mexico unless you saw one in that pond in Mexico you didn't see an axolotl in the wild you just saw some other native salamander most likely not even most likely you just saw a young salamander

I mean spreading awareness about the threats to axolotl populations is cool and all but actually going to Xochimilco to try to find them is kinda directly contributing to the pollution and habitat destruction/fragmentation that is pushing them quickly toward extinction in the wild

DO NOT TOUCH THEM!!!! Axolotls are not social animals and can get stressed out very easily, this is why they don’t make great pets for people that are looking to be able to handle their pets. I understand they look interesting and fun but if you clearly have an interest in them and want to protect them, just leave them alone and view them through the glass. You even mentioned that they breathe through their skin, and while this is partially true, (they mainly rely on their gills when underwater) why would it be a good idea to touch them especially with how dirty human hands can be? It’s nice to use your platform to spread information but if you really cared for this animal you would do proper research and spread some ways people can help out axolotls through conservation. And be careful with spreading false information.
