@idea.soup: the unlikely home of the last axolotls #interestingfacts #funfact #EduTok #Science #AnimalFacts

Geo :

RIP Lake Texcoco 😭

Victoria Hui :

How dare you show us an axolotl home and not show us an actual wild axolotl

Alarchwen :

We destroy any value that the world has.

It’sMeMarek :

As adults, they become tiger salamanders when the appropriate environmental triggers, like access to land, to move

ningmeng8888zh :

so who do we blame for this?

rouxstraycat :

Watching one of my favourite animals go extinct wasn't on my 2025 bingo card, yet here we are

SpamBish :

They were considered sacred for a reason, even when our scientific field wasn't as advanced, we were able to recognize how special they were. And now we appreciate plastic more than our living world

Odd cactus :

the ones in captivity are mainly hybrids as well. The only ones who possess pure axolotls are the nuns in Pátzcuaro trying to save them.

Curley :

Heres mines.

Aly :

I wish people cared about anything, other than themselves. But, here we are.

FlamingMack29 :

I feel like people don't care about the wild ecosystem because they don't understand how much we depend on these species and just assume we don't still benefit off of them.

l80sercruiser :

Idk man he’s at my house 🤷‍♀

M :

Crazy the effects of colonialism still have on things years after 😭😅

SaladPingies :

Clark says thanks for this message

Słowaccki :

They can evolve like Pokémon if the environment changes

Wendy McClelland 🇨🇦 :

Thank you for sharing this. I really learned something new today.

cldbrwszn :

I didn’t realize they were so rare damn

Sinner sinner chicken dinner :

This is Pepper. We love them so much!!

hooligan :

im mexican and never really hear the english pronunciation. Is this really how you guys say it? 🥲

Frits :

What if the axolotl just haven’t had the right conditions to transition into adulthood and this isn’t really their final form 🤔

kelvin :

Gatordrywall :

“We have no idea” “they can regenerate limbs” we may have an idea🙄

Jesse Meyer :

Axolotls are lizard Elves, change my mind

👾 :

Extinction is not inevitable, it is a result of choices made by people who need to be held accountable

SpinQubit :

“Wild Axolotls” would make a 🔥 name for a sports team!
