🦎💦 Open wide! To catch their prey in swift-moving water, Japanese giant salamanders have huge mouths relative to their body size. For being such a large animal, their eyes are quite tiny, so they rely heavily on their olfactory senses to seek out their meal. . . . 🐟🦐 At the Reptile Discovery center, our salamanders receive frozen-thawed smelt, which are similar in size to loaches (a small fish native to Japan), as well as live earthworms and frozen-thawed herring and shrimp. | Smithsonian’s

The Chinese giant salamander is the world’s largest amphibian, growing up to six feet long. Native to China’s rivers and streams, it has a unique, wrinkled appearance and feeds on fish and insects. These salamanders are nocturnal and rely on their sense of touch and smell, as they have poor eyesight. Sadly, they are critically endangered due to habitat loss and overexploitation, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival. Credit goes to tiagotpf on TikTok #wildlife #wildanimals #anim
