Photos:fish With Legs Found In Colorado by MrFlavvor(m): 8:51pm On May 18, 2015
An unusual photo of a fish with little legs
surfaced online, making Internet users
guess what kind of a creature it is.
The queer fish was found lying dead by the side
of a pond in Colorado, USA, by a man who later
posted the picture of it on social media,
asking: “I found this off a pond in Colorado, what
is this?” According to the picture, the animal
has a small body with silver squama, squatty
legs, light-coloured paunch and tail.

Well, while some say the fish is a vivid
example of evolved fish that developed legs and
went ashore, others say it’s a fat salamander or
just a natural mutant. But what seems to be the
truth is that the fish is an axolotl that has died
and the corpse has become swollen.

The axolotl, aslo known as “a walking fish” or
“water monster” is not a fish, but an amphibian.
Axolotls are unusual among amphibians in that
they reach adulthood without undergoing
metamorphosis. Instead of developing lungs and
taking to land, the adults remain aquatic and
gilled.

They are currently listed as critically
endangered in the wild, with a decreasing
population. Axolotls are used extensively in
scientific research due to their ability to
regenerate limbs. They were also sold as food in
Mexican markets and were a staple in the Aztec
diet. A four-month-long search in 2013 turned
up no surviving individuals in the wild.
