Giant Chinese Salamanders

Hey Fellow Bloggers,

          Have you ever wanted to travel to China? Well if you do, just don’t try going near any giant Chinese Salamanders! The Chinese Giant Salamander is the worlds largest amphibian. It lives in foresty part of southern China where it makes its own, peaceful habitat. The female can lay up to 500 eggs at once, in underwater burrows, guarded by the male of the species. These salamanders have big heads, small yet sharp eyes and dark, wrinkly skin. They are going extinct mainly due to the fact that they are an expensive delicacy in China. They can cost as much as $300 per pound. They are also used in Chinese medicine. Last, although the Chinese government is trying to protect these creatures, they live in sparse areas where it is hard to find them.
