These little creatures have a superpower that the so called "higher vertebrates" lack: they can regrow a limb.
Studying these creatures opens up worlds of possibilities for developmental biologists.
Unfortunately they are no longer found in abundance in the wild because their habitat is now called, Mexico City. We are really fortunate that they are available to biologists from the Ambystoma Genetic Stock Center at the University of Kentucky, an invaluable resource, a savior of the axolotl as a biological resource, and a strong supporter of proper resource identification.
