Princess Peach, a pink Axoltl (Mbystoma mexicanum) is the Official Pao Biology department mascot since October 2023. The name Princess Peach came from the Mario Bros series after an extensive discussion process.

BUT WHY? WHY AN AXOLOTL?

Axolotls are known for their ability to regenerate limbs, gills, parts of their eyes, and brains. This makes Axolotls subjects of intensive biology research. However, axolotls are facing extinction due to urbanization in Mexican City and water pollution. Yet they make an excellent pet because they require low maintenance.

This page dedicates itself to Princess Peach the Axolotl and unpacking the biology and mysteries behind axolotls!
