    Im sure everyone has heard this by now but its my favorite thing about them: Axolotls evolved from a salamander that mutated to stay in its juvenile form permanently. You can (but shouldn’t) induce metamorphosis in them chemically (or occasionally, environmentally) and they will transform into a vestigial adult form.
