Ajolotario Miquiztli Xolotl

Axolotl Museum

Small privately run museum and breeding facility for the critically endangered axolotl, a bizarre amphibian creature that lives its youthful years like a fish, but that grows legs and emerges to live on land in its adult years (but still retaining the ability to live and breathe underwater any time it wants to return to an aquatic life). The axolotl also has the ability to re-generate limbs and organs, making it an object of curiosity among biologists seeing dollar signs if they can figure out how to make that work in humans. Always call for an appointment due to the small facility and very limited hours.
