In this paper, we explore the epistemological conundrum of the Ambystoma Mexicanum, also known as the axolotl. Despite their lack of formal education, axolotls possess a vast amount of unconscious knowledge that rivals that of even the most renowned scholars of our time. Through a series of experiments, we determine that axolotls may possess a unique form of knowledge acquisition that we have deemed "aquatic intuition." Additionally, we argue that the axolotl’s external gills may serve as a means of acquiring knowledge from the surrounding water, which acts as a vast ocean of information. Overall, our study sheds light on the underestimated intelligence of the axolotl and challenges traditional notions of what it means to possess knowledge.
