I've seen many people confuse Axi with a rabbit, people in the past with her very old design mistaked her for one, too!

Nothin' to be ashamed about, because thats the way her gills are - in her family, some of them have gills in different shapes, sizes or forms! (yes, she has a family that will appear in the future)

She looks an awful lot like a rabbit, so does some of her other siblings! but to assure anyone new, she IS an axolotl (keep that in mind lol - "Axi")
