ANFIBIUM: Museo del Axolote is a conservation-focused amphibian centre inside Chapultepec Zoo. Its star is the axolotl, Mexico City's strange native salamander, famous for staying larval as an adult and for its ability to regrow body parts.
It is small, but it gives families and wildlife-minded visitors a clear reason to look beyond the zoo's larger animals. It also explains why the axolotl matters to the Valley of Mexico's fragile waterways.
