So there’s not axolotl more where that came from?
It’s a pet. It’s no more newsworthy than finding a goldfish that someone “released into the wild”.
Also, don’t do that; it’s how species become invasive.
they are kind of endangered (I think only in the wild?) so it's not the same as a goldfish
They're endangered in the wild and will go extinct in the next 10-20 years. With no native habitat to return to even if we wanted to release them. They would never survive anywhere else so it's not a issue of them become invasive, still not good though. There might be a few remote isolated spots that could support them, but those are too sensitive to introduce a nonnative species just to save it. The future of axolotls is in labs and peoples aquariums.
