Axolotl, artwork
Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), artwork. This aquatic freshwater amphibian is a neotonic (larva-like) salamander. The larval form fails to undergo metamorphosis, so the adult form has the external gills (purple) of the larva and remains underwater rather than emerging onto land. The axolotl also has a caudal fin running from its head to its tail. It is a predator, feeding on worms, insects, and small fish. Axolotls are found in and around Mexico City, Mexico. Because of their characteristics, they are used extensively in biological research

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Axolotl, a unique aquatic amphibian found in and around Mexico City. The print captures the essence of this neotonic salamander, which retains its larval form throughout its life, resulting in an extraordinary creature with external gills and a striking caudal fin. The vibrant purple hues of the axolotl's gills stand out against its sleek body, highlighting its distinct features. With a head-to-tail caudal fin that adds to its graceful appearance, this predator is perfectly adapted for life underwater. Known for their role in biological research due to their fascinating characteristics, axolotls are widely studied by scientists. Their lack of metamorphosis and ability to remain fully aquatic make them invaluable subjects for understanding various aspects of biology. In this stunning illustration by Science Photo Library, we witness the intricate details of this North American species. From the delicate patterns on its skin to the intensity in its eyes, every aspect has been meticulously captured. This artwork not only celebrates the natural wonder that is the axolotl but also serves as a reminder of our planet's diverse fauna. It invites us into a world where science meets artistry and encourages us to appreciate these incredible creatures that inhabit our freshwater ecosystems.
