Adopt-a-Axolotl

Axolotl are one of a few salamander species that remain in their aquatic larval form their entire lives. With a permanent smile, large eyes, and feathery external gill stalks, these charming amphibians snack on whatever they can fit in their mouths, including small fish, insects, worms, crustaceans, and mollusks. While they are popular icons on the internet, Axolotl are at high risk of becoming extinct in the wild. 

Adopt-an-Animal: Axolotl

Wild Axolotl are brown to dark gray, which helps them blend into their habitat to avoid predators and sneak up on their prey. Come see our axolotls in Amphibian alley next time you’re here!

Your Adopt-an-Animal donation will be used to support these beautiful amphibians and further the San Francisco Zoological Society’s mission to connect people to wildlife, inspire caring for nature and advance conservation action. Adopting an axolotl makes a great gift for friends, coworkers, family or for yourself!

All sales are final.
