Many amphibians can regrow their limbs. That is why scientists use a critter I used to raise for the pet stores, for research. They are trying to find out how they do it. This aquatic salamander can get up to a foot long and quickly learn to recognize who is bringing in dinner. This was one of my males, "Rex." Can you hear him demanding, "where's the beef!!?" I am probably spelling it wrong. Axylotls. From a lake in Mexico. But they are hard to find there now. In captivity, they come in all kinds of colors, even Opal and Calico!
