For centuries, philosophers have debated the nature of knowledge, certainty, and sense perception. In this paper, we explore these complex concepts in the context of the axolotl, a rare species that appears to defy reductive classification. By examining the ambiguity and anomalousness of the axolotl’s characteristics, we challenge traditional theories of knowledge and invite further investigation into the nature of reality. Through our analysis of this fascinating creature, we aim to shed light on the fundamental uncertainties that underlie all claims to knowledge – and, of course, to score some sweet research funding from axolotl enthusiasts everywhere.
