Discover the extraordinary regenerative powers of the axolotl, a salamander native to Mexico and one of science’s most studied animals.
--
Axolotls are one of science’s most studied animals. Why, you ask? These extraordinary salamanders are masters of regeneration: they can flawlessly regenerate body parts ranging from amputated limbs and crushed spines to parts of their eyes and brains. So, how do they do it? And what other secrets are they keeping? Luis Zambrano explores the baffling biology of the axolotl.

The axolotl is also a conservation paradox: The iconic creature is Mexico’s national symbol, and, because it breeds easily in an aquarium, a beloved pet around the globe. So many axolotls live in captivity that certain restaurants in Japan serve up the axolotl as a fried snack. Many thousands of axolotls a year are also used in scientific research: Because of their miraculous regeneration abilities, axolotls are studied in labs the world over. But in the Xochimilco canals around Mexico City, the axolotl’s only remaining natural habitat, pollution and the loss of water habitat mean that the axolotl has become a rare sight.

@saradadhakal4748 3 года назад

@@blackevanuz paganism is when people worship more than 1 god. I myself am a hindu and hence pagan. And what I said about sacrifices are factual. The aztec believed that the way to protect the sun from being eaten was to sacrifice human blood. They sacrificed pows and slaves in large numbers in festivals. I am not sure but I think the priests sometime ate the heart of the sacrificed person. In fact they even farmed a tribe for slaves needed to be sacrificed. When Cortes came to the Mexican shore. Montezuma sent 2 slaves who were sacrificed in front of the Spanish as a mark of respect. The Spanish were rightfully horrified and suppressed this tradition after coming into control of mexico. I don't know how films portray aztec sacrifice but it was an integral part of the aztec culture which was pretty barbaric as a whole.

the energy doesn't stay constant, if axolotl a eats axolotl B's leg, axolotl b wouldn't get enough nutrients or evergy from axolotl C's leg to regenerate it, theres too much lost in between metabolism, the cost of keeping a body alive, and how inefficient digestion is. it's the same reason why even though the human body replaces most of it's cells every 7 years or so, the food you took to stay alive for that time would dwarf the actual weight of your body

@Meteoro Fallen it means neither water dog nor water monster. It’s name translates as “unusual/abnormal being of the water (lake),” since it looks odd, only metamorphoses in bad water conditions, and regenerates its limbs. Xolotl translates as something dual, abnormal, unusual, or deformities. People assume it means dog because it is found in the xoloitzcuintli dog breed.

@JeremyFinch42 3 года назад

From what I've heard, Axolotls also have INSANE regenerative abilities. Basically, not only do they occasionally cannibalize off of one another, but if they happen to be missing a limb, they can just tear it off of another Axolotl, and *splurt*, have it heal onto their stump, and gain control of it. Which is why sometimes you'll see one with a different colored arm. And rarely they have been able to replace AN ENTIRE HEAD, AND STILL SURVIVE. This is actually the most amazing part, because humans have tried to swap heads on monkeys, but the longest those survived was merely a few days. Axolotls have mastered bodily grafting, altercation, and regeneration, yet show no sign of actual human sentience.

@propio2957 2 года назад

Not trying to be picky, but there were a few things in the visuals that were incorrect, some of which might lead to misconceptions, so really quickly, I just wanted to say that: 1. although axolotls can regrow parts of their bodies, it does not happen as quickly as the video implies. It can take months, and is a physically taxing process. It is not a good idea to experiment intentionally with their abilities to regenerate simply for your own amusement (which should be a given). 2. This is much less serious, but they don't blink; they do not have eyelids, which helps explain why they are so sensitive to light.

I think the original pronunciation would be closer to "ah-sho-law-tl" (with the tl being the voiceless fricative)? The Aztec language Nahuatl was not written, so the Spanish transcribed it when they conquered the area. In Old Castillian, "x" represented the "sh" sound, so the x's we see in Aztec words were originally sh's (like Mexico, since the ingidenous people called themselves the "me-shee-ka").
