Species of salamander (Ambystoma mexicanum)
POPULARITY
Axolotls are only found in the wild in one place in the world; an area of wetland just outside Mexico City. They are one of the world's most endangered, and arguably most adorable, amphibians. Not just meme-worthy, they are also scientifically fascinating - they don't really age and they can regrow body parts, including their brains. Very few are left in the wild, but now scientists have released captive-bred axolotls back into the wetlands and found that they not only survived, but even put on a bit of weight. BBC science correspondent Victoria Gill talks us through the study and explains what scientists can learn from these amazing creatures. And Assistant Professor Prayag Murawala from the MDI Biological Laboratory in the US, describes what we know about how axolotls regenerate their own body parts.

In this episode of the I Can't Sleep Podcast, drift off while learning about axolotls, Lake Xochimilco, and Lake Texcoco. Why three topics this time? Well, the first two weren't quite long enough, so here we are. Thankfully, they're all connected—axolotls and their habitats. These fascinating creatures are even more incredible than I expected—they can regrow limbs and parts of their brain! Amazing, right? Anyway, I know I just hyped this one up, so send me a message if you made it all the way through without falling asleep. Happy sleeping! Got a topic you're dying to hear?

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. We've got the typical trio back in the house once again, and a whole bunch of video gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get right into it! John gets things started off with his thoughts on Loddlenaut, as he ignores the adorable Axolotls and still manages to see the credits roll. Randall picks up the torch from there, as he continues to dump A TON of time into SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters' Clash on both his Analogue AND Neo Geo Pockets. Finally, Kevin wraps things up with his thoughts on the latest Kingdom: Two Crowns DLC, Call of Olympus, after seeing the credits roll while our old pal DJ was in town for the weekend. Timestamps: Loddlenaut - 00:01:52 SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters' Clash - 00:12:55 Kingdom: Call of Olympus DLC - 00:23:42 Thanks for taking the time to listen!

The Care & Feeding team is off for Labor Day — but we won't let that stop you from hearing something great from elsewhere in the Slateiverse. So: we're handing the mic over to our friends at Decoder Ring! Axolotls. Narwhals. Llamas. Sloths. Every few years, it seems like American kids and parents collectively decide they cannot get enough of a creature that makes teddy bears seem impossibly quaint. In today's episode we're going to swim after the axolotl, as it takes us to some far-flung and unexpected places, to understand how it came to rule the stuffed animal kingdom. Though the answer absolutely has to do with parents eager to please their children at the gift shop, it's bigger than that. The insatiable hunger for novelty that is bound up with the axolotl — well, that has to do with all of us. This episode was written by Willa Paskin. It was produced by Katie Shepherd. It was edited by Evan Chung. We produce Decoder Ring with Max Freedman. Derek John is Executive Producer. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director. In this episode you'll hear from Elaine Kollias who works with Folkmanis Puppets, Diana Laura Vasquez Mendoza who is a biologist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, Dr. Jessica Whited who is a professor at Harvard, Gerhard Runken who is the executive vice president of global brand and marketing for Jazwares, and Laura Wattenberg who is a baby name expert. Thank you to our translator Ezequiel Andino, as well as Luis Zambrano, Kelley Garnier, and Alejandra Escobar. And if you'd like to help the wild Axolotl, here is the conservation project where Diana works and they accept donations. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In dieser Episode tauchen wir tief in das Buch „Die Weisheit der Trottellumme“ von Florian Werner ein und erkunden die faszinierende Frage, was wir von Tieren lernen können. Der Autor präsentiert uns 31 philosophische Überlegungen, die in einem humorvollen und lehrreichen Stil die Ideen von Kängurus, Nacktmullen, Axolotls und zahlreichen anderen Tieren untersuchen. Diese Kreaturen, die wir vielleicht als gewöhnlich wahrnehmen, halten tiefgründige Einsichten über Moral, Gesellschaft und das gute Leben bereit, die oft übersehen werden. Wir behandeln die außergewöhnliche Art und Weise, wie Werner Tiere mit philosophischen Konzepten verknüpft. Beispielsweise diskutieren wir, ob Ohrenquallen uns über den Aufbau des Universums aufklären können, und wie die Trottellumme paradiesische Einsichten über Kierkegaards Konzept des Glaubens vermittelt. Indem wir über das vermeintlich banale Verhalten von Löwenmännchen reflektieren, der viel im Schlaf verbringt, stellen wir uns die Frage, was Tapferkeit wirklich bedeutet. Es wird klar, dass wir durch die Betrachtung tierischen Verhaltens auch Erkenntnisse über uns selbst gewinnen können. Besonders interessant ist Werners Fähigkeit, Philosophie greifbar zu machen, indem er sie mit alltäglichen Tieren verbindet. Selbst scheinbar banale Aspekte wie das Wachstum des Horns des Dickhornscharfs werden unter die Lupe genommen und philosophisch interpretiert. Es ist erstaunlich, wie der Autor diese Tiere und ihre Verhaltensweisen nutzt, um uns neue Perspektiven zu bieten, die oft überraschend und einladend sind. Neben den philosophischen Überlegungen bleibt auch Platz für Humor. Die Sichtweise eines Hähnchens auf seine Existenz ist nicht nur lustig, sondern regt auch wichtige nachdenkliche Diskussionen an. Wir reflektieren gemeinsam, wie die Illustrationen von Andreas Töpfer das Geschriebene bereichern, indem sie die Essenz der verschiedenen Kapitel visuell festhalten. Diese gelungenen Zeichnungen lockern das Werk auf und machen den Zugang zu Werners tiefgründigen Gedanken einfacher und unterhaltsamer. Abschließend kann ich sagen, dass „Die Weisheit der Trottellumme“ von Florian Werner nicht nur ein philosophisches Buch ist, sondern ein anregender Diskurs über das, was es bedeutet, Mensch zu sein und wie wir von unseren tierischen Mitbewohnern lernen können. Es fordert den Leser heraus, über konventionelle Denkweisen hinauszublicken und eröffnet neue, spannende Betrachtungsweisen. Ein definitives Must-Read für alle, die sich für Philosophie und das Leben aus tierischer Perspektive interessieren.

The conversation revolves around the recent events at Columbia University and the broader implications of Ziontology and institutional control. The hosts discuss their experiences at Columbia, the encampments of activists, and the role of real estate moguls in the university. They also highlight the problematic behavior of Shai Davidai, an adjunct professor at Columbia, and the complicity of the university in allowing his actions. The conversation touches on the influence of Ziontology, the weaponization of free speech, and the need for divestment from institutions supporting oppressive regimes. They also discuss the interconnectedness of state-sponsored paramilitary groups, and the role of Israel in Latin America. The alignment of fundamentalist groups, the experience of traveling to Istanbul and Oaxaca, the disappointment with the movie Monkey Man, and the artist date concept.

Welcome back, Herders to Season 6! Six whole seasons with us is crazy and we're starting it off with one of the craziest animals on the planet!Happy Birthday, Dad. I love you. Rest well.The axolotl (/ˈæksəlɒtəl/; from Classical Nahuatl: āxōlōtl [aːˈʃoːloːtɬ] (listen)) (Ambystoma mexicanum)[3] is a paedomorphic salamander closely related to the tiger salamander.[3][4][5] It is unusual among amphibians in that it reaches adulthood without undergoing metamorphosis. Instead of taking to the land, adults remain aquatic and gilled. The species was originally found in several lakes underlying what is now Mexico City, such as Lake Xochimilco and Lake Chalco.[1] These lakes were drained by Spanish settlers after the conquest of the Aztec Empire, leading to the destruction of much of the axolotl's natural habitat.As of 2020, the axolotl was near extinction[6][7] due to urbanization in Mexico City and consequent water pollution, as well as the introduction of invasive species such as tilapia and perch. It is listed as critically endangered in the wild, with a decreasing population of around 50 to 1,000 adult individuals, by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) and is listed under Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).[2] Axolotls are used extensively in scientific research due to their ability to regenerate limbs, gills and parts of their eyes and brains.[8] Further research has been conducted to examine their heart as a model of human single ventricle and excessive trabeculation.[9] Axolotls were also sold as food in Mexican markets and were a staple in the Aztec diet.[10]Axolotls should not be confused with the larval stage of the closely related tiger salamander (A. tigrinum), which are widespread in much of North America and occasionally become paedomorphic. Neither should they be confused with mudpuppies (Necturus spp.), fully aquatic salamanders from a different family that are not closely related to the axolotl but bear a superficial resemblance

It's a listener request! Axolotls are one of the more amazing animals roaming the planet right now – they can regenerate parts of their brains, can fight off tumors, are found in the wild only in one single lake? And did we mention they smile all the time?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Who needs a fresh axolotl? Listener, perhaps you'd like to buy one...
Der Axolotl kann auch Teile des Gehirns regenerieren. Wie er das genau macht, ist teilweise noch unbekannt. Um seine Fähigkeiten besser zu verstehen, widmet sich das Forschungsteam rund um Elly Tanaka am IMP der Axolotl-Grundlagenforschung. - Sendung vom 08.09.2023
Der Grund, warum die Forschung so sehr am Axolotl interessiert ist: Er ist ein Weltmeister der Regeneration. Wenn ihm ein Bein abgebissen wird, oder sich Zähne in sein Rückenmark bohren, wachsen ihm die verlorengegangen Körperteile nach, als exakte Kopie. - Sendung vom 07.09.2023
In Wien gibt es die größte Axolotl-Kolonie der Welt - am Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP). Die Entwicklungsbiologin Katharina Lust erzählt über das Aussehen, die Lebensweise und die Fähigkeiten der Axolotl und führt durch die Axolotl-Kolonie, in der über 2000 kleine Wassermonster leben.
Der Axolotl stirbt in freier Wildbahn aus. Denn das einzige Seegebiet, in dem er natürlich vorkommt, wurde beinahe zur Gänze von der Metropole Mexico City verschluckt. Sein verbliebener Lebensraum wurde teilweise trockengelegt, verschmutzt und mit Barschen und anderen Räubern besetzt. - Sendung vom 05.09.2023
Der Name "Axolotl" kommt von den Azteken und bedeutet übersetzt so viel wie "Wassermonster". Dabei macht das bis zu 35 Zentimeter lange Tier einen friedlichen Eindruck. Das ovale, scheinbar lächelnde Gesicht wird von baumartigen Kiemenanhängen umrahmt. Der Axolotl verbringt sein gesamtes Leben im Larvenstadium im Wasser. Er metamorphosiert nicht und kriecht von sich aus niemals an Land. Er bleibt für ewig ein Kind. Und kann sich trotzdem fortpflanzen. - Sendung vom 04.09.2023
Twelve year old Connor and ten year old Cameron love their pets. They open up about the responsibilities and the joys of living and caring for seven pets.

Axolotls are territorial, regenerative, and maybe hold the secret to eternal youth. Oh, and they're suuuuper cute. In this episode, we share 10 cool facts about axolotls, then we share our interview with Dr. S. Randal Voss. Dr. Voss is one of the leading experts on axolotls, and he shares all sorts of facts about what makes them unique, why they are critically endangered in the wild, and how kids can help protect them.

In addition to having faces that look like a smiley emoticon, axolotls are as fascinating to scientific researchers as they are to kids because of their amazing ability to regenerate parts of their bodies, including their brains! In this episode we answer kids' questions about these curious salamanders with Dr. Randal Voss, a professor at the University of Kentucky. That lab alone has thousands of axolotls, but these creatures are critically endangered in the wild, where they live exclusively in the depleted and polluted waterways of Mexico City's Lake Xochimilco. Questions we tackle in this episode: How do axolotls regrow parts of their brains? What did axolotls evolve from? Can axolotls survive out of water?

This week we have Zoe and Dillon's episode, and they want to learn about the axolotl, the hellbender, and some other salamanders. It'll be the greatest amphibian episode ever! But first, we have a birthday shout-out! Happy birthday to Heather R.! I hope the weather is perfect for your birthday and you get to go out and appreciate it. So, let's start with the axolotl, because everyone loves it! “Axolotl” isn't the way it's pronounced in its native country of Mexico, since it comes from the name of an Aztec god of fire and lightning, but it's the common pronunciation in English so I'm going to stick with that one. In addition to Zoe and Dillon, at least one other listener has suggested we cover the axolotl. That would be Rosy, and I apologize to anyone else who suggested it but whose name didn't make it onto the suggestions list. Way back in episode 104, about tiger salamanders, we learned that the tiger salamander is closely related to the axolotl. But the two species look very different most of the time because the axolotl exhibits a trait called neoteny. In most salamanders, the egg hatches into a larval salamander that lives in water, which means it has external gills so it can breathe underwater. It grows and ultimately metamorphoses into a juvenile salamander that spends most of its time on land, so it loses its external gills in the metamorphosis. Eventually it takes on its adult coloration and pattern. But the axolotl doesn't metamorphose. Even when it matures, it still looks kind of like a big larva, complete with external gills, and it lives underwater its whole life. Very rarely, an axolotl metamorphoses into an adult form, at which point it looks a whole lot like a tiger salamander. This generally happens if the individual is exposed to excess iodine in its diet, and metamorphosing like this may actually lead to the axolotl's death. Axolotls exhibit neoteny because it gives them an advantage in their natural range, so even though it seems strange to us compared to all those other salamanders, it's what the axolotl is supposed to do. The axolotl's natural range is very specific. Originally it lived in two large, cold lakes in the Valley of Mexico. This is where Mexico City is and it's been a hub of civilization for thousands of years. A million people lived there in 1521 when the Spanish invaded and destroyed the Aztec Empire with introduced diseases and war. The axolotl was an important food of the Aztecs and the civilizations that preceded them, and if you've only ever seen pictures of axolotls you may wonder why. Salamanders are usually small, but a full-grown axolotl can grow up to 18 inches long, or 45 cm, although most are about half that length. Also if you've only ever seen pictures of axolotls you may think they're all white or pink. That's actually rare in the wild. Most wild axolotls are brown, greenish-brown, or gray, often with lighter speckles. They can even change color somewhat to blend in with their surroundings better. It's captive axolotls that are so often white or pink, or sometimes other colors or patterns. That's because they're bred for the pet trade and for medical research, because not only are they cute and relatively easy...
Axolotl. You've probably seen a picture of this cute, meme-worthy animal, but what do you really know about this captivating animal? Do you know the one place on earth where they're natively found? Do you know how few are left in the wild and what hinders conservation efforts? Why some consider them the fruit flies of amphibians? Or, perhaps the most important question, why are they so darn cute?The axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum, is a close relative to the tiger salamander. Native to one small region of Mexico, Axolotls are weird even among amphibians due to the fact that instead of living on the land in their adult form, they remain aquatic and retain their juvenile characteristics, such as their gills, throughout their life. This natural phenomenon is called neoteny. What was once an evolutionary advantage before human interference, axolotl neoteny allows them to regenerate not only limbs, but their organs and even parts of their brain; an ability that is not possible for most vertebrates. It also makes them rather photogenic and a popular pet.Axolotl are an important animal in both the wild and in scientist's laboratories for medical research. Though they are common in captivity, it is imperative we save wild axolotl from extinction. Listen now to learn more about this fascinating creature.
