What do the young axolotl look like?

Young axolotls, known as larvae or juveniles, typically have a slender, elongated body with external gills that resemble feathery structures on either side of their heads. They are usually a pale, translucent color, ranging from white to light pink, which allows their internal organs to be seen. As they grow, they may develop darker pigmentation, and their limbs and tails become more defined, but they retain their aquatic features throughout their lives.
