<\/h2>\nMeet the Mexican axolote, native to the lakes of the Valley of Mexico<\/strong><\/h2>\n A species imbued with Mexican history, culture and identity<\/strong> <\/h3>\nFrom Xochimilco to the world: the Mexican axolote. An amphibian of mythological origin, part of the Mexican culture and identity. In addition to posing extraordinary features, she has a lovely smile that steals hearts. Unfortunately, this sympathetic creature is in critical danger of extinction. Let’s get to know a little more … <\/p>\n
<\/h3>\nPre-Hispanic legend<\/strong> <\/h3>\nThe legend of the ancient Aztecs tells that when the gods had to be sacrificed for the birth of the Fifth Sun, Xolotl (twin of Quetzalcoatl), first mutated in two-reed corn, then in penca de maguey, and finally in axolotl (from Nahuatl, “water monstrous”). Turned into this creature, he launched himself into Lake Xochimilco, and it was there that the executioner captured and killed him, giving rise to this peculiar Mexican amphibian. <\/p>\n
As he considered the incarnation of the god Xolotl, the axolotl was used by the Aztecs as food, medicine and the object of ritual ceremonies. <\/p>\n
