I just finished watching a new episode of Weird Creatures about Axolotls on Science Channel. I missed just under the first half of the show, but when I started watching it, Nick Baker, the host of the show, was in Mexico City talking about Axolotls. Then, he spent most of the rest of the show (2-3 days in reality, he says) searching for a wild axolotl in its native lake. He finds one and they bring it to a laboratory for research. After this, Nick and some researchers release some axolotls that were being researched into a closed section of canal seperated from the lake. There are no predators in this closed section, such as African Tilapia.
The website for Weird Creatures is: Weird Creatures With Nick Baker : Science Channel. The Episode Guide for this episode says, "The Axolotl is a type of salamander that Nick has kept as a pet for two decades. He learns about its unique biology that holds great promise for medical science, and discovers how Mexico City's development has driven this creature to the edge of extinction."
I do not currently have an axolotl, but I plan on getting one or more eventually. This episode was very informative and interesting and I will try to find out when it is on again so I can watch the part that I missed.
