    Awesome pictures, fascinating stuff. It’s a shame that the text seems to have been written by a fourth grader.

    Nert. I’m getting so tired of ludicrous animal blogs. They’re all the same: Ten Scariest!, Ten Weirdest!, Ten Largest!, Ten Tensome!, Ten Retards!, Ten Ten and Over Again!

    The giant salamander is not living in China. It’s habitant is Japan.
    Who ever wrote “china” does not know anything about them.

    btw - I’m from Türkiye (Turkey as you call) so don’t think that I’m just being Japaneese!
