I recently saw 3 of this creature in a fish tank on display in a soft toy catching machine shop in Narita, Japan... They seem like a cross breed between lizard & fish, also reminds me of tadpoles, but then it's way much bigger than tadpoles & kinda seem like a failed product of some bio-science experiment... They're alive & I witnessed them breathe & swim inside the fish tank. Can anybody tell me what kinda creature exactly is this? I'm very curious...
I've found the info about this specie of amphibian from http://amphibiaweb.org/cgi/amphib_query?where-genus=Ambystoma&where-species=mexicanum that this specie is called (Ambystoma Mexicanum, also known as Mexican Axolotl, 六角恐龙 in Chinese) & they lives only in Lake Xochimilco and Lake Chalco, both adjacent to Mexico City & they came in many other different colors...
