Professor Nishikawa Kanto of #KyotoUniversity & a team of researchers announced that they found living examples of the species #SouthChina giant salamander, or Andrias sligoi.
It was the first time in my life that I saw this animal. When I was young, it was extinct in our landscapes. We were probably both equally astonished. He or she had an incredibly friendly appearance. And was so beautiful. https://www.cronenburg.net/encounters/
Thanks @canyakker for helping with the tracks!
