Axalotl - A Symbol of the Aztecs
The name axalotl comes from the god shalat, who was a sort of shape shifting trickster figure. The aztecs were fascinated by these strange matters. They ate them and they used them to make medicines. And they considered the axelatl a sacred animal. You basically couldn't find them anywhere else in the world until a french expedition to mexico in 18 63.
