About the Axolotl

White Albino Type Axolotl. Isn’t he cute???

The axolotl, also known as the Mexican Walking Fish, is a species of freshwater salamander native to Mexico. Its name stems from the Aztecs and means “water dog”. It has very few natural predators, but are at the brink of extinction in the wild due to habitat loss.

An adorable Melanoid-type axolotl. So precious!

About the Artist

My name is Evy Benita, and I am an enamel pin maker and illustrator with a passion for wildlife. I enjoy exploring habitats around the world and learning about the amazing creatures that inhabit them. And I love featuring these animals in my enamel pin designs! Especially lesser known animals who often don’t receive the attention they deserve, it feels really great being able to bring them into the spotlight. The world is full of extraordinary creatures, big and small, and I cannot wait to see what discoveries the future brings.
