Chinese giant salamander-Andrias

davidianus

The largest salamander in the

world is critically endangered due
to human consumption. Theyre
considered to be both a luxury
food item as well as an important
source of traditional medicines in
China. Over-exploitation for food,
habitat loss, water pollution, and
interbreeding with escaped
farmed salamanders are causing
the extinction of these
amphibians. They live in cool,
streams and mountain lakes.
