Axolotls are more than just adorable amphibians. Their ability to regrow limbs makes them symbols of healing, perseverance, and recovery. In ancient Aztec culture, axolotls were sacred. They are named after the god Xolotl, the twin of Quetzalcoatl, who transformed into an axolotl to escape death.

Just looking at an axolotl can trigger dopamine, improving mood and reducing anxiety.
