In recent years, axolotls have become increasingly interested in matters of existentialism. This paper seeks to explore this phenomenon and answer the question: can an amphibian truly experience an existential crisis? Through an in-depth analysis of the axolotl psyche and behavior, we have come to the conclusion that they are indeed capable of facing the absurdity of existence. Furthermore, we have found that certain axolotls display a remarkable knack for philosophical musings, often seen pondering the nature of their own existence whilst lounging in their tanks. Ultimately, this paper sheds light on a topic previously unexplored in the field of amphibian philosophy and solidifies the axolotl's reputation as the most introspective creature in the animal kingdom.
