Definition of these two terms here.
 
Extinction: There are no living specimens of the animal available. Extinction may be total, or an animal may be 'extinct in the wild', meaning there are only zoo specimens available. Biological extinction is defined as animals continuing to exist, but with no viable production of young (Lonesome George: http://www.tortoisetrust.org/articles/george.html).

Extirpation: An animal no longer occurs in an area of its historic range.
 
extinction: when an organism ceases to exist as a viable population

extirpation: when an organism no longer exists in its original ecosystem
 
Extirpation: Within the context of animals and plants, means the eradication of a species or subspecies from a portion of its natural range.

Eliminate 'extinct/extinction' from this thread as it is defined elsewhere in the glossary.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
