Food
I bet you though this was about what it eats, didn't you?
Food
You can eat axolotls, but please don't, this little guy is critically endagered.
Species
Axolotls were specially bred to be white.
Axolotls don't have eye-lids.
The axolotl can breath through either it's gills or its skin.
Species
Axolotls are carnivores, so
they sometimes eat other axolotls if they are "small in size."(Website: soft schoolAxolotl facts)
Axolotls can re-grow limbs, including it's heart and lungs.
The estimate of wild axolotls
is approximately 1000.
Food
Now this IS about what it eats.
Food
Axolotls eat insects, small fish, worms and just about anything.
They eat the food whole.
Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus is known as 'the inventor of the classification system'.
He was born of the 23 of May 1707, and died on the 10th of Janurary 1778. He lived in Småland, Sweden.
He revolutionised the way of classification, as he replaced the old complicated inefficient way with the new method that we still use today.
His work has been immensely useful for classifying organisms, as it allowed organisms that went through metamorphosis to be classified in the same groups, and changed the old one to be more efficient.
