Axoltls are a form of the Mexican salamander that is born with a deficiency in Iodine which means that they cant complete their final transformation into the adult salamander form. Thats why they look like they do, with the enlarged gill structures of the juvenile stages. Theyre not a lizard at all but an amphibian.
Actually, if you manage to correctly administer the right volume of iodine to an axoltl (tricky to do but still) iit could complete transformation and become the adult mexican salamander. I like to think of them like a real life pokemon!!!!
