How can axolotl be both critically endangered and so cheap and available in pet stores?
In: 7276
The endangered ones in the wild are protected. The breed in labs and stores has been diluted over a long period of time, and it’s unfortunate because an axy can regenerate in incredible ways, and scientists can’t do much more in studying them because the captive breed is.. weaker. If the habitat in Mexico wasn’t so limited for various reasons, we might have a thriving population and an excellent breed of creature to study regeneration with.
