A small pink creature with fluffy &quot;twigs&quot; on its head and an eternal smile on its face. It seems like a fictional fairy tale hero, right? But in fact, it is a real animal that lives in Mexico and is already becoming a popular pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.292), 1.05rem);line-height:1.7\">The axolotl is a relative of the salamander. All common salamanders go through the same process as frogs: first they are tadpoles with gills, live in water, and then turn into adults with legs and go out onto land. But the axolotl\u2026 stops halfway! It remains a \"tadpole\" with gills for life. That is why it is also called the \"eternal baby\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.292), 1.05rem);line-height:1.7\">Those pink &quot;twigs&quot; near the head are gills, like a fish. The axolotl breathes with them underwater. It also has lungs, and can gulp air on the surface, but it spends most of its life in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.292), 1.05rem);line-height:1.7\">And now the most amazing thing. The axolotl is a real superhero. If it loses a paw, it will grow a new one. If it loses its tail, it will grow one too. It can even regrow part of its heart! That&#039;s why scientists around the world are studying axolotls to understand how to one day treat people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.292), 1.05rem);line-height:1.7\">The axolotl eats not with its tongue, but with its teeth\u2014tiny and sharp. It grabs bloodworms, worms, and pieces of fish. It swallows its prey whole!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.292), 1.05rem);line-height:1.7\">If you have an axolotl at home, it lives in cold, clean water \u2014 from 16 to 18 degrees. Look at it in the evening: a small pink smile will greet you through the glass of the aquarium. And you will know \u2014 it will remember this moment for all its 15 years of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-radius:16px;background-color:#FFF7E6;margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#7a5d8b;font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.125), 0.95rem);font-style:italic\">More interesting facts about animals at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kazkaland.com\/en\/cikavinky\/\">on the category page<\/a> \u2728<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div style='text-align:center' class='yasr-auto-insert-visitor'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The axolotl is a descendant of the salamander that remains a baby its entire life.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1914,"parent":1782,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-with-title","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"yasr_overall_rating":0,"yasr_post_is_review":"","yasr_auto_insert_disabled":"","yasr_review_type":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_focus_keyword":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1915","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yasr_visitor_votes":{"stars_attributes":{"read_only":false,"span_bottom":false},"number_of_votes":0,"sum_votes":0},"campaignId":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kazkaland.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kazkaland.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kazkaland.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kazkaland.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kazkaland.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1915"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kazkaland.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1915\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2039,"href":"https:\/\/www.kazkaland.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1915\/revisions\/2039"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kazkaland.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1782"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kazkaland.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kazkaland.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
