Axolotl
\Ax"o*lotl\, n. [The native name.] (Zo["o]l.)
An amphibian of the salamander tribe found in the elevated
lakes of Mexico; the siredon.
[1913 Webster]
Note: When it breeds in captivity the young develop into true
salamanders of the genus
Amblystoma. This also occurs
naturally under favorable conditions, in its native
localities; although it commonly lives and breeds in a
larval state, with persistent external gills. See
Siredon.
