I had one as a pet when a kid. Didn't realize I had a god in my fishtank.
All hail lord Axolotl!
me too it never eats and decided to go out of water to continue its passion of......
being dead
Hail
Glory be to Allah , the Most High, the Great 🙏🙏🙏🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Creator of everything
Allah Almighty who gave everything its creation and then guided
@@sayedelghairb8640 lol.
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
@@realscience I could definitely see that with these. No fear, and I think they would have problems catching their own prey.
Really? My Axolotl does that too!
@@KidzRuleStudios That's interesting. Both of ours do it. It's not just a time of day thing, either. They do it when they want food. They also come to the front of the tank if we're in the room to watch the activity.
@MKJNS7086 mine does literally the exact same thing
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
I call mine my tiny pink alligator. Nature be brutal sometimes
Racism 😢
@@Hit_lericecreamwhite on black violence
@@whinybritches or maybe they trying to show us what white people do to the blacks
If they can eat each other that may be the reason they are becoming extinct..😮
The narration and information were delivered so beautifully , it almost felt like that one friend explaining you a hard lesson you missed without making you feel stupid . Thank you for this beautiful documentary .
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.
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.
@@MexicoDigDoctor😂🤣😂🤣😂
Thank you, I mainly clicked to find out how it is pronounced. I remember hearing a man of Mayan decent pronounce it a long time ago but couldn’t remember. I knew this wasn’t the same, but still love all the other info in this video.

I never knew it was a real creature, thought it only existed in Minecraft. Now they are even cooler.
@@FallenAnvilForge one of the reasons Minecraft added it was to increase awareness. The axolotl is endangered in the wild.
@@Miglow awww, so good of the developers
Feels bad for the people who don't know what terraria is
@@Miglow Yes. I think they added parrots for the same reason. If people see endangered animals in a game that they never knew existed, they're much more likely to care are conserving them. :)
I'm from Mexico and it kills me to see that one of our national treasures is dying off. Also feel very much impotent at the fact that I can't do much about it. :c
Such a cute animal.
First. Stop crying about it.
Second... Teach about it As Much as You Possible Can.
Just by Shearing this So Important Documentary.
Perhaps Many People in Our Magic México.. Will do Something Significant To Save and Preserve That Unique Living Creature.
You can learn and help build back the population even if domestic
Wooof, k to some of the comments. It’s like they didn’t watch the video…idk how you’re supposed to bring back a lake system. Sadly other than education there isn’t much we can do. Not your fault, but maybe look into local preservation groups? Maybe they’ll have donation or volunteer opportunities.
There was a recent NPR short wave interview on the axolotl in September.
One thing they talk about is a chanampa refugio program. Apparently some floating islands for farming are also great axolotl habitats?
It's crazy. A huge city before 1492 thrived along with nature. Imagine if we could go back, learn about their city planning, and improve upon it. We will have much more sustainable, clean, healthy, and beautiful cities. We think technology advances, but not necessarily. This video makes me tear up because there's a beautiful world that I want to live in, but I can't, because people are not working together.
I believe the dragons in "How to Train Your Own Dragon" were inspired by axolotyls LOL. They look so similar and so cute! Saddens me to know about the issues that this species is facing though. Feel sorry for the ones that had their regenerative ability taken away in the lab but I guess it's for the greater good...hard choice.
They were.
My 16 year old axolotl just passed away, she was such a pleasure and I learned so much from her 💔
aw she lived such a good long life ❤
16 years!! Wow
So sorry for your loss
what did you learn from her? 💜

@@fluentpiffle because it gets clicks duh
LOL. Imagine you're age has Chronologically passed 25,
BUT you're still Biologically 14... Is that what Axolotles are?
Axolotls are my favorite animals and it really saddens me to hear about their struggles in the wild. I don't know how a person like myself could help but I would if I could. Thank you for this wonderfully informative video
There are nonprofit organizations that you can donate to for research, help them find out how to help the species to not become extinct, etc. Just Google it.
@@RaggamuffinGirl420 Absolutely :) Also, if you spend a little (or a lot if you have ADHD/ASD brain like me) time researching into axolotl biology/ecology etc, you can talk to your friends and family (and other like minded individuals) about them, increasing information and awareness on these adorable little aztec gods. And that in itself, @Cari Nemia, is how a person like yourself can help, it's the little things that can make a BIG difference! Much love to @Real Science and everyone here! 💜
Really good video. Very informative and engaging, without being dramatically sensationalized. Thank you. Lots to think about..

Axolotl:>{o_o}
I have an axolotl currently and he’s been with me since 2000 or 2001. And he wasn’t a newborn when I received him. Believe it or not. He is definitely a god in the amphibian world at least.
@David_Coronado I plan on buying one and since you are keeping one for a long time, I was wandering if you have some tips, I live in France and they are not that rare or expansive to buy but there is little information to keeping them.
Dang, that is a very long-lived axolotl!
Damn he’s 20 years old, ain’t that the longest they can live? Yours might actually be a god
He must be really well cared for to live that long, I'm glad to hear he's still around :D
Damn, 20 years is awesome.
How big is your axolotl right now? Mine is only 6 months old and hearing that they could live longer than I expected, I could never live in fear of losing a pet because of age.
Greetings from Indonesia!
Ive had an axolotl for almost 8 months now such interesting creatures. He can recognize my face and come towards me and know where to go when its time to eat. Insanely smart.
i feal so smart rn

@@slevinchannel7589 I can't help but criticize the presence of many "argument" and "debate" channels on the list. I don't like them.

@@slevinchannel7589 In my opinion the true heroes are those who keep on publicizing science to those who are curious despite the attacks from bigots (without complaining about it). This channel is an excellent example
Learning about scientists finding a new home literally made me choke up. Axolotls are my favorite animal and I try to support any conservation organization centered around them as much as I can. They are such beautiful and magnificent creatures, and Im so happy they have been in the limelight more often these days. I truly hope their wild population can begin flourishing again :,)
What you said here is beautiful. What are your feelings about keeping one as a pet? I'm interested but not sure if I could give it the enrichment it would want/need.
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.
Has it been proposed to fully artificially recreate an entire ecosystem that perfectly mimics their original ecosystem in a massive tank that mimics all of the other organisms and plant life down to the tiniest detail? Or is that unrealistic?
probably unrealistic...
but on the other hand; zoo's exist
I recently went to a zoo with a whole amphibian section
was actually bad ass as fuck, but I didnt spot this boi 😠
@@YagamiKou theyre too cute to be kept there
Animals know the difference between synthetic nature and real nature…hence why animals like pandas no longer reproduce.
I worked with these animals when I was in college at the University of Kentucky. Very spot on analysis about the origin, application and native habitats of this fascinating creature. 💚
Why is a channel called 'real science' referring to a very natural biology of one of Earth's creatures as 'insane'?
@@fluentpiffle science is the gathering of information and learning about things. The insane part is how different and amazing things are. The word insane here is just meaning something that is special.
@@vivanecrosis Nothing to do with accuracy, then?
While really interesting, I can't help but feel bad for all the Axelotl that had to endure amputation and maybe worse for this to be researched. Especially the one that got their rejuvenation blocked.
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.

@@someperson9998 Yes, there is truth in your statement.
I was 40 years old before I ever even knew what an axolotl was. And, I only learned about this amazing creatures because they put one in Animal Crossing New Leaf. Tangential learning is real and wonderful. Such an amazing creature this is. Thanks for this interesting video. Great work!
U i5
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.
I learned so many bugs and fish names from animal crossing funny enough 😂😂
Also in Minecraft
He has been in every game since 2005 with the exception of of the game before new horizons 🫡
I think it is so sad some people don’t want it save animals and say “Oh who cares it’s just a stupid animal.” I hope people start to realize that even how weird, creepy, small and annoying animal even a mosquito if they went extinct it would hurt lots of animals that some people love. I love supporting conservation and support lots of wild life biologists trying to save animals. I hope when I grow up I can help save animals that could go extinct, but sadly most of them might be extinct by then.
The narration the tone of your voice everything you say everything you pronounce perfection I learned so much thank you so so much
I cut off tip of my thumb and it regrew. I was told it was because i retained nail bed which produces stem cells. It was incredible process. There was nothing to stitch shut (no skin) and couldn't reattach tip so they used a special material on it for a while. Removing that was horrifying. But there isn't even any scar tissue and my finger print grew back too. However the nerves didn't fair quite as well. It has that asleep pins and needles feeling to it so i did physical therapy to get used to fine motor tasks, and it's pretty much normal now. I wonder if animals new limbs have less sensitivity too though 🤔
Shut up
@@starsfalldown1234567 why?
I cut the tip of my left ring finger off and it too regrew. I also can’t feel much but pain with it.
@@imagineifyouwereaworm i went to flowerpowers channel and read comments on latest video. Apparently they go around RUclips sowing discord wherever they can. Probably an unhappy person trying to spread their misery.
Anyway mine was about halfway through the nail, is that about how much you lost? How did you do it? I was cutting weeds with a machete
The human body is absolutely incredible
My 10yo daughter loves axolotls. I don’t know why I’m being particularly emotional from this video, but it has really made me cry. I’m going to look and see what digital adoptions there are for axolotls. My daughter has a birthday coming up and a good gift would be a sponsorship in her name. She’s just a bit too young to keep one herself; maybe in high school if she’s still into it.
get one for her. Help her care for it
"I don't know why I'm being particularly emotional"
Welcome to fatherhood lol
It’s a challenge to keep them though. They need a large tank and a lot of attention.
I appreciate the encouragement. I’ve had experience with keeping live tanks and terrariums before, but I think in our particular situation, it is not the right time. I did contact a nearby zoo, and we’re making arrangements to gift our children with animal sponsorships which includes visits. The Axolotls exhibit is under renovation, so we’re doing sloths and giraffes, but I will definitely be keeping an eye on future opportunities to genuinely help axolotls repopulation and genetic diversification.
@@pawned79 I think thats a wonderful idea and is safer then getting an animal you dont feel prepared for :)
Had one in our bio class in high school. His name was Gareth, who sadly died after the teachers forgot to feed him during the school holidays.
this why you dont keep fish as pets 🤦♀ it's just not the same as dogs or cats
Thx u helped me with my sieance project
I actually watched this because I have a virtual Axolotl on my phone as a pet, I got off of Google Play, I have had it for over 4 years as of May of this year, you have to feed it and clean up it's environment everyday, well that's what I do, you just push tabs to do both, so I do it every day!
Anyway when I saw this I had to watch it, I mean I have seen videos that mention them, but not a video that is centered on them alone! This was nice!
😐

Well, you must don't know how crazy is people about Sir David Attemborough voice

and is justified to be honest
Imagine, just imagine how many keys to immortality, keys to wondrous biological breakthroughs have been lost because of human caused extinctions.
@@JozefLucifugeKorzeniowski The problem is that these extintions impact us far too much, those others are unreachable, nothing we can do about them, but the onces that were caused by humans were something we could have changed. Thats why it stings so much.
I feel immortality wouldn’t be a good thing overall 😅
@@Zyrock This is not the kind of comic book immortality where you can be trapped in a steel box forever or vented somewhere into space. This is 'just' agelessness, which would be AMAZING to have. I don't think anyone actually wants to get old and have their body just start to malfunction. Fixing that would improve a lot of lives.
Humans don't deserve to be immortal.
You can have an immortal body, but an immortal mind should be first priority, ya might go mad !! You'd be a really young looking person with dementia

@12:05 when i was 14 i got my hand caught in a belt sander in shop class, the class before me had a jig set up and when they removed the jig they never put the plate back on correctly, this resulted in my left hand getting sucked in the belt along with my job i was sanding causing one finger to go down to the bone, two fingers with nails removed and a little skin and my pinky and thumb badly grazed, the doctors at the time said my fingers wouldn't grow back and i'd pretty much have a deformed hand for the rest of my life with permanent nerve damage, 6 months later i went back to the same doctor for an unrelated injury and i showed him my fully functional healed hand, you can still see scars around the nails and part of my pinky no longer has a finger print but after listening to this, it explains so much and is bloody awesome!
Why the public isn’t saving this beautiful creature is beyond me.
Because humans are selfish and will cause harm to other living creatures for our own personal gain.
The Axolotl (Ajolote) is an amphibian endemic to Mexico 🇲🇽 its natural habitat is Lake Xochimilco in Mexico City.
The Axolotl has had great influence on Mexican culture.
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.
I love these little guys. I never had one as a pet because of fear of not being able to care for it properly. But they are so beautiful to look at.
Axototls are the closest we have to a real-life Wolverine/Sabretooth/Deadpool/Mystique (or any other comic book character that has regenerative powers, for that matter)
This lil guy is SCP-682 but not out for blood
First time i saw one I was so fascinated with them, never seen something like that in my life, they are an incredible and interesting creature
I guess you can say that the axolotl have axoLOTls of mysteries to unfold
there are more axolotls in minecraft than the known population of axolotls around the world
especially after one vtuber tried so hard to get a blue axolotl....
Kanata
Sad
casually expects everyone to know what they mean by ‘one vtuber’ on a science video
I'll never forget Kanata's Axolotl black market
Well done. Another fantastic area of inquiry communicated to my otherwise uneducated lot and I. From my own first person perspective, it's like the world is getting bigger and more complex with each new video, and I feel like I'm becoming more mindful of both science and the environment as a natural consequence of watching them. Thankyou.
Why is a channel called 'real science' referring to a very natural biology of one of Earth's creatures as 'insane'?
So this is what Frank Herbert was referencing with Dune's Axolotl Tanks. I shuddered when the narrator mentioned using their abilities for ourselves.
I'm glad she mentioned the Ph levels in the water as well as temperature and altitude that make the difference almost as much as predator to pretty ratios. I grew up being an avid lover of salamanders and mud puppies. They are truly one of the most marvellous of God's creation.
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.
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..."
Thought the same
Now this is truly a fascinating video you made. I always tell people similar stories like here in the video.
incredible script, narration & content. thx!
So with the Regeneration, it’s SCP-682 but adorable, aquatic, and not out for blood
Fact
I have had a couple axolotls. One of them passed last month (he got sick, rip my Remi) and my fiancé and I have another who’s about 3 years old and his name is Winston. He’s a good boy

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.
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!

People should do an reaction videos for the maps, forests, lakes, rivers lost and pollution creation. This way there will be a diversity of videos and also brings awareness to others. At least 30% of people could use this to improve their future.
As a Nahuatl teacher I can tell you that the correct pronunciation of Axolotl is A-Sho - lo - tl The tl is pronounced closer to a T and like a click. It is not pronounced like tl in “little”
Came here to say this.
It’s heartbreaking when animals that are benign are pushed to extinction by humans. Either directly or indirectly.
Quetzalcoatl was for sure a mutated giant axolotl.
Imagine how cool it would look
Amazingly informative video. This idea of harnessing the power of the stem cell to devise a way to re-generate lost limbs as well as other tissues .. like brain tissue .. is truly ground breaking.
Thank you so much for your efforts and love that you've put into this work ❤️
In Croatia lives oxy's cousin, the olm (Proteus anguinus) which is also fascinating. It also exhibits neoteny, gives birth to live offspring or eggs, depending on ambient temperature. It has no pigment and can live for months or even years without food.
Your videos are so interesting and informative 💗🔥
Sounds like a comic book origin story waiting to happen.

Despite the pronunciations of all the Aztec/Nahuatl names are incredibly wrong here, I do appreciate the detail and quality of this video. The editing, music and research is stellar!
Fallout show scard me with how they mutated in the show.
lol, it was still very cute in the show though
Axolotl's are awesome! I should've known you'd make a video about them
I know someone who had a stroke or seizure or something.
Apparently their brain was torn, and was able to rewire itself back together. I’m not sure if it was neurogenesis but it certainly helps the hope that we have a partial regeneration locked away inside us.
She also was classified as brain dead, when they took her off life support she demanded help. She ended up being studied because of all this.
What’s her name? I’d like to look up her story.
@@kavuela4422I’m not particularly comfortable with sharing names on the internet.
That and it happened quite a while ago and the NHS (British health service) doesn’t keep any centralised records so the whole thing has minimal recordings that you can easily access; I’ve tried googling it before but little came up.
So sorry. I can also tell you that after she recovered, she had significant behavioural changes, and between us we say she acts quite like an autistic person now (I’m autistic), so that’s another interesting thing.
@@telepathicmagicshop I just can’t remember what it was. Probably the more serious one.
Can’t say I believe you, but I can’t prove you wrong so…
@@_tonyvera probably a reasonable response. Technically I don’t even know for certain, I’m just trusting what themselves and their family said, and they take a serious enough tone.
I feel like axolotl's are too cool for me to describe. There's something about them that feels mystical, otherworldly, magical. Yet, I don't know if I started to like them because "everybody does" and I'm just gullible, or if there was something about them that truly drew me in. I didn't even know they existed until a couple years ago. It felt like one day they weren't a thing, they didn't exist, and the next, they were everywhere and I don't know how that happened.
I love the videos I learned so much.
Thank you so much for all your hard work it's really an amazing information channel
The axolotl is literally my favorite animap because of how amazing they are.
I can only imagine those axolotls that undergo metamorphosis thinking "yo what the actual fuck"
These little guys are so cool, I hope they're protected, if not in the wild then in some extensive artificial habitat
The axolotl is the current evolution of the Light Fury and no one can tell me otherwise.
Melanistic Axolotls resemble Toothless.
at 8:22 you say that "the axolotl retains its regeneration ability throughout its entire life".
Does that include the transformed, land-living form?
Had the same question while watching this part!
I was wondering that too
yes even the closely related species the tiger salamander can regrow limbs on land so axolotls probaly can too
smoothest ad transition I've ever seen, Amazing video btw
I bought one in Indiana fifty years ago. While I didn’t realize it was a god, I did realize it was very philosophical, sometimes spending hours facing the corner of the tank, contemplating the nature of the universe. 😊
