The colour of axolotls is dependent upon pigment cells called chromatophores. These cells are melanophores (containing eumelanin, a black-brown pigment), xanthophores (containing carotenoids and pteridines, yellow and reddish pigments) and iridophores (containing crystalised purines, which impart a shiny iridescence).
Like other amphibians, the Japanese giant salamander has smooth skin rather than scales. The skin acts as a respiratory surface where oxygen enters the body and carbon dioxide is released. Flaps of skin that run laterally increase the surface area for respiration. Rocking gently in the water helps oxygenate its body.
