Bought two as a present for my wife. They're interesting little animals and a lot more intelligent than I would have thought. They recognize my wife as the one who feeds them; when she walks in the room they come to the front of the tank and start swimming up and down to get her attention. If someone told me they do that never would have believed them.

ones raised in the lab are often considered to be too "domesticated," which is another problem with lab-reared animals vs wild ones. They love people too much!! This can skew research and makes it so they don't wanna be released back into the wild

Except for her pronunciation of the name. It should be pronounced “Ah-SHOW-lo-tl” (the TL is said somewhat like the “tle” in “little”). That is the original Nahuatl pronunciation. Today, we call them “axolote” (or “ajolote”). It’s pronounced “ah-ho-LO-te”…long O in LO. I don’t mean to be nitpicking, but when you speak both Nahuatl and Spanish, it grates on the nerves to hear it pronounced wrong over and over again.
@tinystar3010 Рік тому
Just think of it as the American dialect way of pronouncing it. You just said it yourself, it's pronounced two different ways in the two languages you said, so why is it invalid for her to pronounce it the way most Americans say it? It's obviously natural for it to be said different languages and that's just our way. No one is wrong. Only pronouns should be said identical across all languages such as a formal name. Generic words are up for dialectic pronunciation.

A friend from college had two axolotls, one was white/pink-ish, the other was black. I always thought they were so cute until one day the white one killed the black one and ate him, also lost a limb (in the fight I guess) but his limb grew back. I was so shocked, had no idea such animals existed. Absolutely amazing creatures, not so cute anymore for me though lol

Thanks for sharing your poignant words. I also hold great hope that the new lake at the research center will provide an adequate to possibly thriving environment for the axolotl. I had a wild type and a leucistic, the pink one with the black eyes, and they were very social, intelligent, and amazing animals and pets. They were incredibly interactive with me and my family. I dearly love axolotls. Although they require much more special attention and care than a cat or dog, they're well worth the effort and dedication if you have the time and ability to maintain their living environment and meet their needs. They're such precious animals.

It's a great video indeed. There's a glaring geographical mistake, though, which makes the whole hypothesis of how axolotls evolved dubious: climate around Mexico city and the other lakes mentioned in the video is rather temperate, forest-like. The axolotl evolved in a climate similar to southern France or New Zeland, plus the extra sunlight.

Nothing in your life that you enjoy now as a necessity was even available hundreds of years ago. Everything in your life has required human sacrifice. All medicine and technology has had a human cost. Men used to die building walls around cities to keep out beasts and invaders. Your clothes , jewelry , food, something you buy probably had human cost. If cutting up a lizard can help cure cancer and regrow limbs we should do it our lives are more important than animals especially small ones that only live a few years.

Why is a channel called 'real science' referring to a very natural biology of one of Earth's creatures as 'insane'?

An axolotl joined our family a few days ago. I knew a lot of the info in this video, but not in nearly this much detail! Thank you. This has been very informative.

Amazing narration, excellent information. Very very informative and even heart-wrenching to hear about the difficulty these awesome little creatures are facing. I have always wanted one as a pet, but have never had the right tank conditions to keep one happy and healthy. Maybe someday I will be so lucky.

If heat is the issue, you can get a tank chiller, they aren’t expensive and work really well.

7:47 "But these animals all share something in common - they are all invertebrates. In vertebrates like us, regeneration is pretty much limited..." That's a really unfortunate and confusing juxtaposition of invertebrates and in vertebrates. Perhaps "For vertebrates like us..."

I honestly had no idea, until watching this very informative and intriguing video, that axolotls were only found in Mexico! I also had no idea about there conservation status.. What a loss! I truly hope the new rock quarry lake works to help reintroduce these amazing creatures into the wild! Thank you for yet another video full of nutritious brain food! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 Bravo!

One caveat I have with this (otherwise absolutely brilliant) video, is that you're sort of understating human neuroplasticity. While we might not exactly form new brain tissue after injury, our brain is able to "re-map" or redistribute some of the lost functionality onto other areas, make new neural connections and so on. It was thought that this process ended with adulthood, but we now know that it basically never stops until we die. Although juvenile brains are a lot better at it.
