I love seeing pictures of axolotls' regenerative abilities in action, so I thought some of you may find this interesting.
About a year ago, I came home to find my axolotl had kinked off one of his fingers at a 90 degree angle. It was determined that it was a closed fracture or dislocation and not at risk for infection, so I just left it alone.
Eventually the little finger started to straighten out and heal, but I noticed he was also getting a little bulge out the back of his finger. From what I can guess, his hand lost the signal that his fingertip was still there after the break, and decided to grow a new one, even with the old one still attached!
So now he has a cute little mutant finger
He kind of walks on it like a high heeled shoe lol
I'd love to see more pictures of your little mutants!!
