They’re critically endangered and will be extinct very soon in the wild. There are millions in captivity. Scientists have been using them for experiments for a long time, and they’ve become popular pets even before mine craft added them because they’re very low maintenance.
A lot of conservationists despise people having exotic pets. This hasn’t been the first and won’t be the last animal that were the last of their species exist in captivity. Maybe we should take the hint and realize we need to be more proactive.

Would they rather the species just completely vanish from the face of the earth? At least they’ll live on in captivity, where they thrive.
I don’t understand people who are against caring for axies in captivity. They’re going to be gone soon they only live in one lake in Mexico that’s getting built over. At this point it is either total extinction or captivity that ship has sailed. They’re also a really good teaching moment about conservation. When people see my axies I’ll usually tell them about the situation they’re in and people look so hurt that we’d ruin their habitat like that. Most extinct animals you only hear about. These little critters are common enough you can show them to people and really get the point across what we’ve lost
Im sure everyone has heard this by now but its my favorite thing about them: Axolotls evolved from a salamander that mutated to stay in its juvenile form permanently. You can (but shouldn’t) induce metamorphosis in them chemically (or occasionally, environmentally) and they will transform into a vestigial adult form.
