- Summary:
- The axolotl, an amphibian with incredible regenerative abilities, is ubiquitous in pop culture, pet stores and science labs, yet almost extinct in the wild. Now, scientists and farmers in Mexico City are using ancient Aztec farming techniques to secure the creature's future. Another team is partnering with salamander-breeding, cough syrup-making nuns to save a related species, the achoque.
