Baby salamanders or are they???




These are pictures of the Axolotl salamander, this salamander is the prefect example of an alternative form of evolutionary change over time. The Axolotl salamander looks like its a baby when really it is a full grown sexual mature adult. Note the cool looking gills, this was once the trait of just the young of their species.
