Breaking News: Rescued Axolotls Find New Home at San Francisco Zoo
San Francisco, CA – In a heartwarming tale of rescue and rehabilitation, a group of axolotls has found a new home at the San Francisco Zoo. The axolotls, which were rescued from a private collector, are now thriving in their new enclosure and are a major attraction at the zoo.
The axolotls, which are a type of salamander, were rescued by the zoo’s conservation team in collaboration with the Axolotl Rescue Network. The team worked tirelessly to care for the axolotls, providing them with a safe and healthy environment until they were ready to be released into their new home.
"We are thrilled to welcome these amazing creatures to the San Francisco Zoo," said Dr. Maria Rodriguez, the zoo’s conservation director. "Axolotls are an important part of our ecosystem, and we are committed to protecting and conserving them for future generations."
The axolotls are now on display in the zoo’s Rainforest exhibit, where visitors can get up close and personal with these fascinating creatures. The exhibit features a large tank filled with water and aquatic plants, and visitors can observe the axolotls swimming and playing in their new home.
"We are excited to share these incredible animals with the public," said Dr. Rodriguez. "The axolotls are a great example of the importance of conservation and the impact that humans can have on the environment."

I asked about axolotls at Cal Acad on this sub a while ago. 5 rescue axolotls that were illegally smuggled are now in the Oakland zoo. Unlike other salamanders, they retain their neotenous features. Namely their large frilly gills that circle their neck. They are indigenous to the waterways of Mexico.
