This is a different article. It lacks a video, but you should be able to access it. I will warn you that it talks about how axolotls were used in the labs. We have definitely abused this species. As usual we are trying to force secrets from a species rather than working by observation and much kinder means.

They can actually regrow body parts. Lizards who regrow their tails don't regrow a perfect replacement. It lacks the length or the bone structure. It is stubby tail, but better than nothing.

Axolotls can really regrow things. It is an amazing ability. There are things we could learn from the species, but we go about it is a cruel way so we don't deserve the knowledge. The species may be gone before we can learn anything anyhow. Who knows how many of nature's benefits we have lost because we have destroyed things before we could learn from them.
