actually this one seems to have some difficulty shedding from those upper digits. i read an article (ugh -im not sure if i can relocate it...) that said it didnt require the cyst forms of those nematodes (i think they were nematodes -either way it was something that forms cysts) if the researchers implanted inert beads in the limb buds in crucial areas at crucial times then it would also result in deformities of the limbs (ie extra ones)...just a little oddity trivia there -not sure if it will win you anything on 'jepardy'

That axolotl pic is actually quite funny. As if you couldnt tell which was the extra arm!
