Loved but vanishing? Axolotls have no wild home to return to.
They breed easily as pets, yet remain Critically Endangered. Why? Habitat loss.
A smart fix tells farmers: "Ditch chemicals, protect them, & sell veggies for more!" Conservation = profit.
Hopefully, this spreads so they can swim freely again.

11年後のレッドリスト|アホロートル:愛されて、野生は消える【IUCNレッドリスト比較】

今回は、アホロートル(学名:Ambystoma mexicanum)が「帰る家がない」っていう話です。2014年の図鑑では、人工増殖は容易で、こちらのほうの危機からは脱却している、と書かれていて評価は「CR:深刻な危機」でした。ところが、最新のレッドリストでも、人工繁殖がしやすくて飼育下の数は増えているはずなのに、評価はやっぱり「CR:深刻な危機」のままなんです。だからアホロートルは今も、「愛されて、野生は消える」みたいな状態なんだと思います。この記事は短くて、5分くらいで読めます。よかったら最後まで読んでください。

11年後のレッドリスト|2014年→2025年:IUCNレッドリスト比較

It was hot out in the sun today, so I got tired quickly. Still, it was great to make so many people happy at the protest. A couple with unicorn suits saw me just as I saw them, and we all laughed an ran to each other and 'hugged' briefly. It was so happy.

On the way out, I saw this ballot box and thought it was a perfect photo op for my axolotl self.

Exhausted but happier now.

#Regeneration of fins and limbs relies on shared cellular playbook
Immune cells, blood and repair #genes act in concert across three regenerating #vertebrates
Team cut fins off #bichirs and tracked #gene activity at wound after one, three and seven days, which revealed types of cells present and activity. Team compared data to similar new and existing data about #axolotl, salamander that regrows limbs, and #zebrafish, a that can regrow tips of fins

The findings strengthen the case that regeneration is an old trait, offering insights into how complex tissues rebuild themselves.

Wild type,
Axolotls aren’t fantasy creatures.
They’re real, ancient, and doing things science can't explain.
Regrow a limb. Stay young forever.
Just another day in the water.

Axolotl on wood
I placed the lights and shadows to create the illusion of the subject coming forth from the canvas. The warm earthy tones of its surroundings and the wood contrast the rich blues of the axolot beautifully. I painted this study in oil with great care and heartfelt love for the animal, which you can see in details like the pattern and the fine frills of the gills.
