Mexico is one of the 18 megadiverse countries of the world. With over 200,000 different species, Mexico is home of 10–12% of the world's biodiversity.[67] Mexico ranks first in biodiversity in reptiles with 707 known species, second in mammals with 438 species, fourth in amphibians with 290 species, and fourth in flora, with 26,000 different species.[68] Mexico is also considered the second country in the world in ecosystems and fourth in overall species.[69] Approximately 2,500 species are protected by Mexican legislations.

Ambystoma mexicanum. Also known as “mole salamanders”, these freshwater aquatic salamanders retain their larval characteristics (gills and existence in an aquatic habitat) even into adulthood, making them ideal subjects for embryological and developmental studies. Their color will vary from albino to brown. Care instructions are included. Average size: 1–4″; but they may grow up to 12″.
Yikes. It sounds like one of those sci-fi movies. You have a fish tank full of these cute little 1 inch critters. Then one night you hear the sound of glass breaking, you open the door and.........



OK,maybe the fictional mutated snakeheads are a bit of a stretch.

Calm down. Take a deep breath. Try to think where you saw it last and retrace your steps.
