So all we need to do is bring a peace offering to their queen, befriend and mate with their kind, and after just a few hundred years BOOM, no more cancer.

"Axolotl" was my computer password back when I was 7. Nobody was going to guess that!

I have of course changed since then

Cool Axolotl fact: they can regenerate limbs and organs without any scarring.

"You can cut the spinal cord, crush it, remove a segment, and it will regenerate. You can cut the limbs at any level - the wrist, the elbow, the upper arm - and it will regenerate, and it's perfect. There is nothing missing, there's no scarring on the skin at the site of amputation, every tissue is replaced. They can regenerate the same limb 50, 60, 100 times. And every time: perfect." - quote about their regenerative properties.

It’s super neat, but sad to think about HOW they might have found out how many times their limbs could be cut off. :(
