The Axolotl (or ajolote) (Ambystoma mexicanum), from Nahuatl āxōlōtl, is the best-known of the Mexican neotenic mole salamanders belonging to the Tiger Salamander complex. Larvae of this species fail to undergo metamorphosis, so the adults remain aquatic and gilled. The species originates from the lake underlying Mexico City.
