Axolotl Facts

Happy Weird and Wacky Wednesday!! 

I pray your day is filled with lots of learning!!

Have you ever heard of an Axolotl before? They are so cute!! Joey wants to tell you guys all about this amazing aquatic amphibian! They are actually aquatic salamanders! They stay looking like babies their entire life. They come in a range of colors and have a unique ability to regrow their lost body parts. Isn’t that weird but amazing that they can regrow certain body parts when they lose them? Yes, that is right when they lose a limb, they can regrow it back in as little as three weeks. When the limb is lost nearby cells travel to the injury site and the regeneration process starts. We live in a very fascinating world! There is so much we can learn from the world around us!

 

Here is a list of some facts about the Axolotl:

1. They can live up to 15 years.

2. They can regenerate certain body parts.

3. They are native to Mexico's Lake Xochimilco and Lake Chalco.

4. Axolotls are a Critically Endangered species.

5. They stay looking like babies their entire life.

6. Axolotls can grow up to 18 inches long.

7. They eat worms, small fish, and many other things that live in the water.

8. Axolotls do not have eyelids so they sleep with their eyes open.

I'm Mimi, the author of the JOEY SAVES THE DAY! book series. I love reading, writing, teaching, and learning. I homeschool my two youngest children. My 16-year-old daughter illustrated the books and will illustrate all the rest of them in the series. She started illustrating the series when she was 14 years old. She loves to draw. She is learning as she goes. Her dream is to one day be a famous illustrator and a fantasy book writer. Help me make my daughter’s dreams a reality and watch how her illustrations evolve over time! Children and adults everywhere will love these books. The story and illustrations within the pages of the books will put a big smile on your face and your child will be delighted as you read them the books. The illustrations are adorable and the stories are super cute. You don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to own this collection of adorable books! All five of the books are available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Target, Walmart, and Books A Million.
