Fun Fact: The word “axolotl” comes from the Nahuatl language of the Aztecs, and means “water dog.” Its mythological connection is to Xolotl, the god of fire, lightning, deformities, and death. The Spanish word for axolotl is ajolote, but is used colloquially in Mexico to encompass all forms of salamander.
