Also known as the Mexican Walking Fish, this amphibious salamander is critically endangered, and nearly went extinct in 2010.
They’re weird animals because they don’t go into metamorphosis like other salamanders: Even adults remain aquatic and gilled.
They’re frequently used for research by scientists due to their ability to regenerate limbs
@ecksmc What a gorgeous creature and interesting bit of science...thanks!
