Animal Facts:
The Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus) is the world’s largest amphibian, growing up to 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) long and weighing over 50 kg (110 lbs). Often called the “baby fish” in Chinese (Wáwāyú), this nickname comes from its unusual vocalizations, which sound like a crying infant!
These ancient creatures, dubbed “living fossils”, have remained nearly unchanged for 170 million years. Native to rocky mountain streams in China, they rely on their sensitive skin to detect vibrations rather than good eyesight to hunt their favorite snacks — crabs, fish, and even other salamanders!
Unfortunately, the salamander is critically endangered due to habitat loss, pollution, and overhunting for food and traditional medicine. Conservation efforts are racing to protect this unique and fascinating species before it disappears forever.
