Axolotls have the unique ability to regenerate most body parts. In a period of months, they can grow entire new limbs and even portions of the brain and spine.→[More:]

Ok, this post is really just Senyar-bait, because I know she's going to love those animated axolotl gifs. :D

And they were created by a Japanese animator in 1986. It's a fact.

So. Assuming that you liked the taste of axolotl. You would have an endless food source, if you had a big pool full of them.

Holy crap, I was dreaming about axolotls right before I woke up today. MetaChat is apparently now going straight to my brain.
