Can We Save Mexico City’s Famous Axolotls?

Video Description

In the southern part of Mexico City lies Xochimilco, a maze of canals filled with boats, music, food and tourists. But Xochimilco is more than that. It’s one of the last remnants of the interconnected lakes that once surrounded Tenochtitlan, the ancient capital of the Aztecs. And within these canals, in a city of 22 million people, lies the last remaining wild habitat of a strange, smiling salamander called the axolotl. Hosted by Joe Hanson from Be Smart, Overview uses stunning 4k drone footage to reveal the natural and human-made marvels shaping our planet--from a 10,000-foot view--literally.
