As of my last available data, axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum) have not been reported as completely extinct in the wild. However, they are considered critically endangered due to habitat loss, pollution, and other factors threatening their survival in their native habitat around Mexico City, particularly in the Xochimilco region.
Despite the dire situation, there are ongoing conservation efforts to preserve and protect wild populations through habitat restoration and captive breeding programs. Axolotls also remain popular and widely bred in captivity for both scientific research and the pet trade, which helps to ensure their survival.
That being said, it's crucial to stay updated on their status since conditions can change rapidly, and the conservation landscape is constantly evolving with new efforts and findings. To get the most current information, it would be best to check with organizations involved in amphibian conservation and research or recent reports from the field.
