Book excerpt: The black axolotl is a stunning new color morph of an old favorite. These salamanders are often chosen by keepers looking for something more unique than a goldfish or frog. But how good of a pet does a black axolotl make? Steve Wilson What is the Black Axolotl? Baby axolotls soon grow into full sized black axolotls, reaching 12 inches in length. The all black axolotl morph is a melanistic animal; a genetic mutation where excess dark pigments are produced in the skin, feathers, scales, and fur. Sometimes wild morph axolotls are also sold as black axolotls since they have a dark, camouflage color. But the true black axolotl has black gill filaments and eyes. If you have spent time hunting for salamanders in nature then you're aware that the black axolotl does not look much like a terrestrial amphibian. Healthy axolotl gills are easy to see, with a fine, feathery appearance. Why do axolotls look so different from their land dwelling cousins? Axolotls are an example of neoteny; when an animal doesn't transform into its adult form. Neotenous salamanders remain in their larval form their entire lives. They don't transition to a terrestrial form and move out of the water. Axolotls breed, even though they are giant larvae. It is possible to induce the transformation to a land dwelling black axolotl using iodine. The element stimulates the production of thyroxine in the thyroid gland. But most people prefer keeping the aquatic form. Common Names: Black Axolotl, Melanoid Axolotl, Melanistic Axolotl, Black Mexican Walking Fish Scientific Name: Ambystoma mexicanum Origin: Central Mexico (Lake Xochimilco) Length: Up to 12 inches Tank Size: 10 to 20 gallons Black Axolotl Lifespan: 15 to 20 years Temperament: Predatory; Aggressive Ease of Care: Very Easy

Download or read book AXOLOTL CARE GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS written by Rachael Bernard and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2023-03-06 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The axolotl is definitely a unique pet, a type of salamander that is completely aquatic. Unlike most salamanders, they do not undergo metamorphosis from larval to adult form where breathing changes from gills to lungs. Instead, they remain aquatic their entire life. Thus, they are not pets you handle, but they can be quite entertaining to watch. They are relatively easy to care for and hardy, which makes them suitable for beginner pet owners. Plus, their dietary needs are fairly straightforward. Axolotls live in aquariums and do best in cool or room-temperature water with low lighting. Provided each individual has 10-gallons of water they are peaceful in small groups. Besides a good aquarium pump, you do not need any special equipment to care for axolotls. But, due to their sensitivity to water conditions, their tank needs regular maintenance and cycles. In this book “AXOLOTL CARE GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS” you will learn everything it takes to feed, care, breed, house, health and helpful tips on how to raise axolotls as pets. GET YOUR COPY NOW!!!

Book excerpt: Pigment Cell Growth covers the proceedings of the Third Conference on the Biology of Normal and Atypical Pigment Cell Growth. The book focuses on the nature of the pigment cell and its contained melanin. The selection first offers information on the origin of the mammalian pigment cell and its role in the pigmentation of hair and relations between developing melanophores and embryonic tissues in the Mexican axolotl. The book also examines the genetic control of pigmentation in the fowl; relationship of atypical pigment cell growth to gonadal development in hybrid fishes; and estrogen, thyroid hormone, and the differentiation of pigment cells in the brown leghorn. The publication takes a look at dendritic melanoblasts in metastatic squamous cell carcinoma; microscopic analysis of normal melanoblasts, nevus cells, and melanoma cells; and analysis of skin color in living human subjects by spectrophotometric means. The selection is a dependable source of data for readers interested in pigment cell growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about a Mexican Mythology and the creation of the world according to the Aztec.

Xolotl was also a god, but other than his brother Quetzalcoatl, Xolotl was born to die. He was the sacrifice needed to make the sun and the moon turn. This book is about of what happened to the destiny of a lesser god. This book is about the love of father for his little girl. Yolotli was the darling of every Water Dragon living in Xochimilco waters channels. They loved her to bits; for she was so kind and gentle, fine and petite and just the perfect little girl. Yolotli knew every one of them by name, and who their friends and family were. She took some of her flowers to the old and injured, and helped to nurse the sick to health with her magical healing songs. Axolotl (Ajolote) is the only earth creature that has been able to maintain his god like qualities. The Axolotl never gets old and can repair his body by regenerating new parts. Juan Ponce De Leon came to America looking for the Fountain of Youth. He never found the Axolotl.

Download or read book Loss and Restoration of Regenerative Capacity in Tissues and Organs of Animals written by Lev Vladimirovich Polezhaev and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1972 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This well-illustrated monograph is the first summary in English of L.V. Polezhaev's important but lesser known work on the regenerative phenomena in mammalian forms, conducted since World War II. During this period Soviet research underwent a pronounced shift in emphasis from basic biological studies based primarily upon amphibians to more practically oriented problems in mammalian systems. Polezhaev's experimentation underwent a corresponding shift, but the focus on restoration of lost regenerative capacity was retained since his earlier work, which is also reviewed here, on limb regeneration in frogs. Following a theoretical discussion, the monograph centers upon the author's most profound innovations: a successful method for producing bone to heal large skull defects, original research on heart regeneration, and trials in the restoration of limb regeneration following X-irradiation.
