Axolotls are only found in Mexico. As legend has it, the axolotl is the Aztec god of fire and lightning, Xolotl, which disguised himself as a salamander to avoid being sacrificed.

Their youthful traits include feathery gills sprouting from their heads like a mane, webbed feet, a dorsal fin that runs down the length of their body, and a tail. And as if being forever-babies didn’t make them cute enough, their mouths are upturned in a permanent Mona Lisa smile.
