Quiz Question: Where is the amphibious axolotl’s native habitat?
The given options are:
- Mexico City
- Salt Lake City
- Machu Pichu
Correct Answer:
Mexico City
Info: This critically endangered salamander is native primarily to Lake Xochimilco near Mexico City. It can regrow limbs and even some organs, and it never loses its ‘baby fins’ – the fan-like gills around its neck that most salamanders lose as they mature. Human development around the lake has taken away vital axolotl habitat.
