Mexican Salamanders on the verge of extinction

[Catherine]

The Mexican salamander or Axolotl is an amazing creature. They have the ability to regenerate tissue that is lost or damaged. They can even regenerate heart muscle. We could learn so much by studying them. We may not get the chance. After 2000 years of living near humans they are now on the verge of extinction.

It is beginning to look like our generation is the most destructive this planet has ever known. Creatures have lived along side us for centuries and now they are declining in numbers. We don't just use our environment we abuse our environment.

I hope that the efforts being made to save the Axolotl are enough. It would be a great loss on so many levels if the disappear.
