Fish-e Trivia for Monday-itis. Are Mexican walking fish, fish?

Are Mexican walking fish, fish with legs?

My friends when seeing these creatures would either say,”Wow! Cool! These fish have got legs!”
Or they may say,”Ewwwww! The fish have legs!”

Well, the short answer is – no, axolotls are in fact, amphibians just like frogs and toads. They are permanently ‘stuck’ in their larval stage and breathe through their gills and skin! Imagine a tadpole with four legs, a tail and gills. That’s what these axolotls are!
