Facts About the Mexican Walking Fish

The Mexican walking fish -- more commonly referred to as the axolotl -- is not a fish, but rather an amphibian, native to Central Mexico. As Aztec legend goes, the sun god Xolotl took the form of this salamander to escape sacrifice, but he eventually was boiled in a kettle. Modern axolotls, however, are alive and well in private collections and research facilities, thanks in large part to cartoonishly cute features and a remarkable ability to regenerate limbs and skin. While these captive populations flourish, the fate of wild axolotls appears as ill-fated as their mythical predecessor.

Blobfish

Blob fish


Blob fish have no bones so they can not bite.
The moment the blob fish touches land
it dies and turns into a big blob of loose skin. Today blob fish are
endangered. Male and females are called the king and queens of ugly.

You can not keep a blob fish as a pet it would die. If you caught a blob fish and put it in a tank
but the water has to have really high pressure. It would be easier to  preserve a dead one.
