According to American Cancer Society[1], 40% of humans get cancer. Of those, more than half are killed by it.
Further, half of all cancer cases are seen in people under 50[2].
Axolotls are amazing and unusual in many ways, and their cancer rates are one of those ways.

The singular of species is species. The only person allowed to say "specie" is Vincent Price at the beginning of Alice Cooper's song "Black Widow", because he's a badass like that.

"specie" is money in the form of coins. Nothing badass about it!
this is based on what, a few thousands individuals from that specie? on that kind of sample size humans also hardly get cancer, unless humans get really old. Not sure that statement can be substantiated.
