edibility

I think the word "edible" should be removed from the definition. Most species of animal are edible if prepared properly, so this is not really semantically useful, unless the translation is specifically referring to axolotls as a foodproduct and not also as a living or wild animal.

It's left over from the older lexicographical tradition that included encyclopaedic information, as the animal was really only used as food. I am ambivalent about whether to include that word. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 06:02, 14 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
Now the definition reads "critically endangered". It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad… –Jberkel 22:17, 4 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
