Has anyone heard of THIS thing? GIANT salmander!

[Chevybabe1961]

I was just doing some animal gazing on Google tonight and I come across a weird pic of a guy standing next to a HUGE salamander. Seems it's a Japanese GIANT salamander that's aquatic nonetheless! Has anyone else heard of these things? I kinda pride myself on my knowledge of oddball animals and I've never heard of ANYTHING like this! Check out this link!

They're amazing, aren't they!
Here's some nice footage of them in the wild.

Yes, I've seen that video before, they made a slight, nitpickable error, Japanese giants aren't the biggest amphibian, the Chinese giant is. Very accurate aside from that though
