Named for an Aztec God, This Species Is Critically Endangered | National Geographic


is a model highly appreciated for its
great features that you can
regenerate almost any part of your
body
This leads currently the axolotl
we have it in a risk category
of extinction
but for us as indigenous as
peasants in rural areas
somehow we try to reverse that
big problem in the early
times when the gods gathering
around the fire had to
sacrificed to make way for example
the sun to the moon
This meeting was the twin brother
that God saved you only start
sacrifice jumping into the game
giving life to a new element when
the God touches only he refuses to
sacrifice of his brother who is something
at annoys me and sent him to pursue
to be sacrificed suffers several of
transformations until finally
is Lake 8 mi son and in this
Lake then takes the form of jolote and
takes the plunge his brother who is the
spares his life player condemns the
that hereinafter
you will live in darkness and always
You’ll be able to stay in that state
as a ajolote
a study of water
Mexico have seen is kind
endemic area basin
Mexico and the area of the great
prehispanic lakes
its most important feature
state is not a stage neotenia
feature a larval stage
Garlic lot on which stands the rest of
life unlike salamanders
Common to know their habitat
Natural is reduced and only a few
few entertainment channels 28
Mexico and this leads us to
we have done censuses institute
biology at first uam
Xochimilco in 2008 98 where
They found that first census in 6000
ajolotes per square kilometer each
four or five years go by
censuses and have noticed and one
marked decrease in 2014 did
the last census and we have only 35
ajolotes per square kilometer
the main problem has not been a
release in the right and agencies
outside the place
In this case we talk about the worst
mojarras chemical contamination
that occurred early last century
the deviation suffered by
freshwater springs
fed the great canals were
diverted to Mexico City for
purposes drinking water and filled the
channels are wastewater
I city coupled with the urban sprawl that
every day is getting closer the area
lacustrine
if drastic measures are not taken in the
After a few decades will
completely disappear from the channels
if he has developed a program bak
poor maintenance of a
colony for several decades in
where we currently have the capacity
of mass produce
thousands of youth who have been
using for restocking
the axolotl is really easy to
play is not going to extinguish the
laboratory or zoo I sodeco
lessons because in an egg laying
We can have up to two thousand eggs 1,500
1,700 new that bet
we know that if we confined
a research center never go
succeed and what we do is to make
be making permanent monitoring
right now we meet as a year and a half
about having initiated this
payment currently have animals
inside there is not a closed space
It has access to the public
then also ensure
security of the species
so our concern as
locals as we will preserve that
It is the big goal
That’s our territory there we saw
Hence we develop live with
a number of elements in this case
The axolotl is part of our culture
of the country it is part of our
identity
