about

Ambystoma mexicanum, axolomeh or axolotl, in common language, is a type of neotenic salamander related to the tiger salamander.
Axolotls are unusual among amphibians because they reach adulthood without undergoing metamorphosis and instead of developing lungs and taking to the land, adults remain aquatic and gilled. As of 2010, they were listed as an endangered species, very close to extinction.
Axolotls are capable of regeneration of the entire lost appendages, and in some cases, even more vital structures in a period of months. Some of them have been found restoring the less vital parts of their brains and can readily accept transplants from other individuals, restoring the alien organs to full functionality. In some cases axolotls are known to repair a damaged limb as well as regenerating an additional one, ending up with an extra appendage.
The genome of the axolotl is a 32 billion base pair long sequence, the largest animal genome completed so far. It reveals species-specific genetic pathways that may be responsible for limb regeneration. Although the axolotl genome is about 10 times larger than the human genome, it encodes a similar number of proteins, namely 23,251. The size difference is mostly explained by a large fraction of repetitive sequences.
The humans can therefore represent just an underdeveloped axolotl.
