what is this?


It might look like a Photoshop job but it is a real animal; called the Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus) the largest salamander in the world toping at 6 feet. Totally aquatic, it feeds on fish frogs and insects. As it is nocturnal, it is almost blind.
A similar put smaller relative lives in Japan.
