Critically endangered Mexican salamander (7)

I believe the answer is:

axolotl

(Other definitions for axolotl that I've seen before include "Aquatic salamander of N America" , "Type of salamander" , "amphibian" , "Central American salamander - lax tool (anag)" , "Mexican native" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
