Can We Save Mexico City’s Famous Axolotls?

Season 2 Episode 10 | 12m 10s

In the southern part of Mexico City lies Xochimilco, a maze of canals filled with boats, music, food and tourists. It’s also one of the last remnants of the interconnected lakes that once surrounded Tenochtitlan, the ancient capital of the Aztecs. And within these canals lies the last remaining wild habitat of a strange, smiling salamander called the axolotl.
