Hi guys!
I think this is cool, and I wanted to share with you all, hope you like it.
Here in Mexico, most people thinks that an axolotl is the larva that becomes into a toad or a frog... this is sad because as you know they are natives from here and also a specie in danger. How can we take care of something we dont know that even exist?
Well, there are a couple of places, named UMA (with my english I cant translate the exact meaning but is a unit that regulates and protect the enviroment, any specie or place, just 2 of them about axolotls all over Mexico) and I went for vacations to visit this one. Its name is "Granja de Axolotl", axolotl´s farm. It is in Xico, Veracruz, more than 3000 meters above sea´s altitude, and they are breeding axolotls (imported from Kentucky) trying to keep the specie alive and with time make some artificial lakes so they can live there.
All the people in there are well caring of axolotls, the people in charge are biologists, very kind people. They give axolotls lab management, no filter or aquarium set up. The axolotls are very well fed and chubby, very reactive and healthy.
Some pictures, hope you like them!!
