back in 1998 they found about 6000 Axolotl per square km in the channels of Xochimilco, in 2003 they were down to 1000 per square km, in 2008 only 100 were counted, during the last expedition over 3 months they couldn't count a single water monster in the wild anymore. it seems they are gone for good in the wild. the pollution and introduced fish species have pushed them too far. :an!gry :an!gry

No hallan un solo ajolote en los canales de Xochimilco :an!gry :an!gry

Another survey is to be conducted shortly, but it would appear that even if some where found there will be little ability for re-establishment without intervention. This is just one of many species, lions are sitting at only 250 males of breed-able age remaining in the wild.
