Recent studies have revealed that captive-bred axolotls are successfully thriving in Mexican wetlands, including restored environments in Mexico City. This discovery offers a glimmer of hope for the endangered species, which is facing extinction in its natural habitat. Researchers suggest that these findings could lead to conservation efforts aimed at bringing back the iconic amphibian, inspiring optimism for its future. With evidence showing that these protected axolotls can adapt to and survive in the wild, there is potential for a significant comeback of this mythic creature.
