Axolotl (critically endangered) for #viernesdeilustracion (is a group on social networks that each month publish a topic to illustrate).
It is endemic to Mexico and has had a great influence on Mexican culture. It is in critical danger of extinction due to loss of habitat, introduction of exotic fish, overexploitation, pollution and its consumption as food.
The axolotl has the ability to regenerate almost any part of its body that has been damaged or cut. It is also a thousand times more resistant to cancer than mammals.
In Aztec mythology, the axolotl is related to the god of deformations and death, Xólotl, Quetzalcóatl's brother.
