Hi all,
Whilst on a family holiday in Dresden last week I was lucky enough to visit a 15 year old Chinese Giant Salamander at Dresden Zoo. It is 1.05m long, bred in Germany, and is currently behind the scenes in temporary accommodation whilst it's larger display tank is refurbished. The zoo was very interesting, with one of the stand-out exhibits a huge 50 year old Saltwater Crocodile, the largest in Europe at a length of over 4.5 metres. With these animals so scarce in captivity I thought you all may be interested to see some pictures.
