Buccal pumping Axolotls displaying variations in color. Axolotls have four pigmentation genes; when mutated, they create different color variants. The normal wild-type animal is brown or tan with gold speckles and an olive undertone. The five most common mutant colors are listed below. Leucistic: pale pink with black eyes. Xanthic: grey, with ...
Another detrimental factor is that the axolotl lost their role as a top predator since the introduction of locally exotic species such as Nile tilapia and carp. Tilapia and carp directly compete with axolotls by consuming their eggs, larvae, and juveniles.

[2] The gold-like tint iris for the red salamander is also distinguished by its horizontal bar that runs through the iris. [10] Mud salamanders typically have a blunter snout than the red salamander.

Thus in species that have other pigment cell-types, for example xanthophores, albinos are not entirely white, but instead display a pale yellow color. More common than a complete absence of pigment cells is localized or incomplete hypopigmentation , resulting in irregular patches of white on an animal that otherwise has normal coloring and ...
Unlike the hemoglobin in red blood cells found in vertebrates, hemocyanins are not confined in blood cells, but are instead suspended directly in the hemolymph. Oxygenation causes a color change between the colorless Cu(I) deoxygenated form and the blue Cu(II) oxygenated form.
Blizzard Blue, Magic Mint, Mulberry, Orange Red, Violet Blue, Lemon Yellow, Raw Umber and Dandelion — a cult favorite — will be available for a limited time.
Once C. exigua replaces the tongue, some feed on the host's blood and many others feed on fish mucus.

It can then be seen clinging to its head or body externally.
