Interesting fact:

These little cuties are critically endangered, but that doesn’t stop them appearing on the menu. A restaurant in Osaka, Japan serves them whole and deep fried. Wow. They were a popular snack too in their hinterlands of Mexico. One Francesco Clavigero wrote that, "the axolotl is wholesome to eat, and is of much the same taste with an eel. It is thought to be particularly useful in cases of consumption.”
