Axolotls are one of the most riveting animals in nature, capable of regenerating their body parts and even their brains. These nocturnal little amphibians spend most of their life under water, and as adorable as they are, they unfortunately aren't quite the best cuddling partners. It's not that they don't have it in them, they're just small and prefer to be underwater!
Thankfully, the Squishmallow brand provides us with plenty of axolotl-themed characters and plushies that can fill in for us so we don't have to take scuba lessons to find an axolotl to hug. While these ones aren't capable of regenerating their brains, they're (probably) much less carnivorous than the average axolotl, so we think you'll find them to be much better cuddle buddies. Here are our six favorite axolotl Squishmallows available in 2024.
