Looking for Barred Tiger Salamander Axolotls (Crazy hair and questionable hygiene)

- On April 30, 2021, I visited Axolotl lakes, outside of Ennis, Montana, in order to search for tiger salamander axolotls. It was a stunningly beautiful area, and I really enjoyed my time there!

I hope you guys will enjoy this new avenue I am taking with my content. I have a few more to edit and get out to you, but please- let me know in the comments. I will also be putting out some super short paddling videos somewhere on my social media. Thank YOU for the support! I hope you enjoyed seeing the native habitat of the barred tiger salamander axolotls.
Omg this was so cool! I love this kind of content from you. Please tell me you at least had sunscreen on though that snow glare can get you real quick 😂
I wear sunscreen year round!
The evolution of this channel is awesome. As my curiosities and queries are quelled by your older content, I find myself being absolutely inspired by your new content!! Bravo, Aquarium God!!!!👏🏾🔥👏🏾🔥👏🏾🔥💯
Love it love it!
we actually have barred tiger salamanders in some lakes in utah. Cecret lake near Salt Lake City has only barred tiger salamanders and no fish so the salamanders are everywhere. It's also only like a 0.8 mile hike round trip and it is beautiful.
edit: They also stay in axolotl like form which is cool.
Now that I'm 81, I can no longer travel to out of the way places and hike the way I used to (arthritis, etc), so watching your videos is a wonderful way for me to experience those beautiful spots. Thanks Rachel for sharing your exciting trips!
Dat sounds ver nice dat you can sea this and be not sadd I sadd some but no kill me self
absolutely love these new videos. Even without seeing the salamanders, it was great to see the scenic views and water testing. Can't wait to see what's next!
Thanks! I was SUPER bummed to not find them, we tried for quite a long time (there all day). I do have other videos that I have to edit where we were much more successful :) Stay tuned! And thank you so much for the comment and support!
@@RachelOLeary ooh suspense! That certainly sounds exciting; can’t wait to see what you found!
Hell yeah!
I've been SUPER hyped for this new content. This is exactly what a lot of us want to see, I think. I love all of the aquarium YT gang, but THIS is what the hobby is about, not a subscription feed full of live streams. Crank it out Rachel!!! Before the livestream bois catch on! Make this your thing!
Really loved this vid Rachel, and the new Hair style. 😄 Some beautiful shots!! Nice to see snow now that we are in the 100s this past week. 🥵 Gorgeous Lake!!! 😘 I sure miss being out in the wilds. The lakes and reservoirs here are Very Low if any water at all. 😬. Love your ingenuity. 😄 I have some new mini Orchids that are just starting to spike, anxious to see how they do first time blooming. One is considered extinct in the wilds now. Glad to see you having Fun... And thanks for bringing us along. Later Field Biologist... 👍
Up to your nerd kit in mud, questionable hygiene, dodging elk poop, potential run-ins with grizzly bears and Sasquatch. Damn right I'm jealous...
I am SO in my happy place with it! It is super amazing that folks seem to enjoy it
@@RachelOLeary Nice! Who needs a white sandy beach when there's a perfectly good Montana mud bank available? Have fun!
You seem alot happier than you have been out there in your natural environment
Incredible Rachel!! Thank you for the opportunity of letting us go on the journey with you!! This is a place I've dreamed of going to and seeing the wildlife at Axolotl Lakes, Montana!! Incredible footage and it was really cool to see your findings and learning about these incredible salamanders!! Thank you so much for sharing!! ❤️🤗🙏🙌
HI from British Columbia ..keep coming , you're almost here ..summer in Canada is nice
I would love to hit BC! Waiting for the borders to open
I’d love to go fly fish there. Been up to glacier before I got into fly fishing. Dying to get back ever since.
it was an incredibly beautiful area!
Enjoy the content.Can't do much cause I'm old .Watching you do stuff l wish I could do.
Just go to Mexico city in Xochimilco you can find those Axolotles (Ajolotle) that's how you pronounce the name
The view and scenery was beautiful, thank you for sharing
I had never seen a place like that! (Never seen moose poop either! LOL) Thank you so much for sharing your adventures! I also love the water testing and under water views!
Beautiful scenery, great idea. I loved it all. You’re looking really young, we love your hair like that.
Thank you so much 🤗 I haven't been called young in a very long time lol
I really enjoy your adventures outside of the fishroom.
Very cool video
Thanks so much 😊
This was quite lovely. For those who have never been to Montana, there is a lot of territory that is undisturbed and pristine. To me it is the most beautiful state. I like this style of video. Looking forward to more of your travels.👍
She’s very respectful of animals and I’d let her gather up anything she’d want since she’d love them all. Not like I own a forest or ocean or anything lol
Gosh the view is awesome. Thanks for sharing!
I love your travel footage. The USA is a beautiful country. I enjoy seeing places that I’ve never been and that I need to visit. I’m so glad you are sharing your travels. Are you keeping a written travel log with all the data from the various locations to compare later? Impressive go pro set up.
I loved every second of this vlog! Thanks for sharing
I'm so glad!
Great video Rachel, thank you. I give it 5 stars or 10 stars or whatever is highest. Nice to see the natural environment. I remember in a previous video, when you said that you were going to be delivering this kind of content, I was wondering how you would pull it off. SUCCESS. l became jealous that I was not there. Like your water analysis and attempt at underwater footage. Looking forward to your next trip.
Thank you!
Good video thanks.
I always wanted an axolotl, as I worry about their natural habitat and numbers dwindling, but I know I wouldn't make a good keeper. Thank you for the video.
Excellent. Thank you for a heroic effort.
I will go back and be successful! I have promised myself
@@RachelOLeary BRAVO!!
Thanks for taking us along
That was very interesting
I can't wait to see more places Rachel!!!!!! Awesome little amphibians, it's crazy they have such a small native range... Safe travels out there keep the videos rolling out
Home Sweet Rockies
Look at that sky!!!
Dang, this was super cool! I really like this new direction. I gotta say, I was surprised by the ammonia level in that lake considering 0ppm is the bare minimum (maximum?) we keep in the aquarium hobby.
Thanks for taking us on your adventures! Keep up the fantastic work! And you're absolutely rocking the hair!!
Thank you for sharing, love watching your adventures and learning from it
Very cool. I love these "on site" videos and hope to see a lot more of these... ill go back and watch the ads 2x if it helps fund more trips :)
Thanks Rachel!
Appreciate the support!
Right on Alex, I'm with you ❤️🤗🙏🙌
Thanks for sharing a new and useful video I like the feeling that communicates well even if the language is different Full watch, I want to come again Cheer
🌷💕🍀
Hell yes Rachel find those guys!
Even without seeing the salamanders it looked like a great day.
Love it nature at is best .thank u mrs Rachel stay bless always keep it up definitely good on hand research .
Girlfriend your looking radient.
Why thank you! I am really happy these days
Thank you for showing us these fabulous views of Montana (and wildlife poop LOL).I'm so enjoying these videos Rachel. Stay safe out there.
Long ago I bought a mud puppy- water dog At Alsip Nursery for $5.00 .Shortly after it went through metamorphosis.I fed it flying grasshoppers , our outdoor cat would help me catch them,also fed him crickets and even pinky mice.It lived for more than 20 yrs.I really enjoyed having this barred salamander.I’d also take him out side and sit with him in the grass, he loved smelling the fresh sir
This footage is so awesome and beautiful but I would shit my pants trying to drive there by the mountains 🤣
I love that there is ice and snow around yet you are sitting there in a vest. It must be warmer than it looks!
Beautiful scenery!! Thanks for sharing! 💛💚💙
Hmm, I wonder if my Nissan Rogue AWD could handle it? Eh, who am I kidding, it would get muddy and I can't have that. 🤣
Judging from the layer of ice, it was probably too early for them, they are likely still in winter rest. Did you get the temperature of the water?
I've kept the regular A. mavortium for a while. Interesting animals, albeit a bit boring to me, since they dig themselves in. These mole salamanders are like some fish; christmas when you see them, but otherwise the tank looks empty. Axolotls are the only species from the Ambystoma genus that I enjoy keeping. Nevertheless, I'd LOVE to see them in the wild. Hope you find them eventually.
We are subscribed an happy looking at the comments and speaking for myself. I hope YOU are enjoying it and take care. :)
I’ve only ever seen a wild salamander once when I was a little kid. There are some around here, I’ve just never taken the time to go herping
Spectacular! Thanks for sharing this...
Beautiful country! Thanks so much for sharing, and I look forward to seeing more.
im unable to xpress to u jst how proud & truly happy & xcitd i am for u. u seem to be having sucha blast & doing what u obviously love! go head girl!
Great content! Interesting to see various natural types of water conditions.
This is AMAZING 🤩 please keep sharing. ❤️
400acres doesn’t seem like a very big reserve. The country here is beautiful. I love seeing natural habitats
Sorry no salamanders. I still enjoyed this video. Thanks😉
I need an API Aquaspin water tester. Lots of good information. Love ya Rachel!
Thanks ❤
hmmm is it accurate ? even their master kit test are known to be not
Thanks for taking us along. Kept my attention. Well done!
Fantastic! So glad that you are taking us along on your adventures. Looking forward to more.
I don’t think that those are axolotls as they are endemic to Mexico.
Love it! Can't wait to see the paddling videos too.
Lol " hello elk poop".
personally i find these little bad boys way prettier than the "typical" axolotl ( theyre all beautiful though)
I love this SO much! Thank you!
Really enjoyed this 👍🏻👍🏻
thats amazing. I would love to travel there if I ever go to USA
Hi Rachel, I love these videos, thanks
hurray! so glad, thanks for the support and comment :)
I'd have skipped uploading this one.
Loving it, Living your best life...
Should get a mic for outside.. hard to hear sometimes..
I loved this video. I look forward to more of this coolness.
John Clare (founder of Caudata.org and Caudata Culture) had some barred tigers CBB in 2013 and some other years, I'd start by asking him on facebook or something, I am an extreme fish enthusiast but an even bigger salamander nerd.
Edit: I thought you were trying to find them for sale, i wrote the comment before i watched
i appreciate it! I wanted to see them, sad that I failed, but eager to try again in a different season (or later in Spring next time)
great to see you getting out there and getting filthy. Have so much fun!
Great vid! Love the new hair style! ;-)
The amount of times I've fished these and had no clue.
Super Nice, Rachel. Love it.
Thank you!
Beautiful scenery and looks like you were having fun 👍
I had a blast!!
They aren't referred to as axolotls but rather most commonly water dogs or tiger salamander larva.
Correct, but the area is axolotl lakes, so it can get a bit wonky. I tried to make sure I said they were paedomorphic larva of barred tiger salamander and that true axolotls are a close relative from mexico.
Rachel the only woman I love with tattoos
I has no idea we had salamanders and axolotl in Montana
I mean summer tubbin' is great, but who would have a problem with this!? XD
I was really nervous because the concept got very mixed reviews. It's why it took me a month to put it out there!
Beautiful country
Great video, love Montana
I love these types of new videos! We are all extremely excited to see more adventures!
Montana is so beautiful
Hi! Not sure if you'll see this comment and I don't mean to be rude in anyway, but using the term axolotl in association with the tiger salamander in this way spreads misinformation. There is no such thing as a a tiger salamander axolotl, unless it is a hybrid (which shouldn't be occurring in the wild). And specifically in this case the barred tiger salamander axolotl is not even a common name used to describe the tiger salamander larvae - they are simply just that - tiger salamander larvae. Axolotls are their own species. The way the barred tiger salamander is being described here would be referring a spotted salamander larvae as a spotted salamander axolotl So, no of course the tiger salamander is not like the axolotl and should be described as such as these are separate species - the axolotl is native to Mexico and not Montana. Again, not trying to be rude, but I believe this information should be accurate.
I said in the video that these are tiger salamanders in a paedomoephic state and that axolotls are from Mexico, but these are the closest relatives in the states.
@@RachelOLeary True, you did say that but the title of your video says Barred tiger salamander axolotls and you opened up the video stating exactly that and even went as far to say "these aren't the axolotls we keep in our aquariums" - because they're not axolotls at all. These salamanders are in the same genus (Ambystoma), but that doesn't make the two species names synonymous with one another and simply tacking on the species name axolotl to tiger salamanders is inaccurate. They're just not the same thing. It might seem like I'm nit-picking over words here, but salamanders are actually a passion of mine and from what I've seen, most people really don't even know what they are to begin with. So I just kind of hope to see more accurate information being put out and I think accurately describing the name of the species matters.
@The Salamander Wilds that is a fair point.
(Edited): mainly done because the name of the lakes are axolotl lakes (helps with seo for people looking for info on the area, also included the link in the description).
Love the title lol
This is really good content. They need to give you a show on animal planet. Get that travel budget paid!
I would settle for breaking even 🤣
Montana is so beautiful! Thanks for taking us along on your adventure!
Glad you enjoyed it!
toda una científica
Awesome video!
awesome video
💚💚💚
💖
True wilderness, how wonderful to be able to experience this thru your travels. You looked so content sitting in the rocky mud taking water samples. Wish you'd had better luck finding one of the salamanders, but still, it was worth the scenary and sampling the water, and seeing the underwater plants. Awesome video Rachel, looking forward to more.
👍💓👍
You look good w/o make-up!!!
Good stuff.
Very cool
Loved it!
i miss the hair coloring.
i love the nature walk.
yea, growing out the gray to see what level of silver I am at, lol. Haven't had natural colored hair in my adult life. Probably won't stick- don't worry
