"The Chinese giant salamander looks like a creature from another world. Growing up to 6 feet (1.8 m) long, this record breaker is the world's largest amphibian. It's not surprising that scientists consider it a 'living fossil.' The Chinese salamander has made its home in underwater caves since dinosaurs roamed Earth! This book offers readers a close look at this unique goliath. Full-color photographs accompany details about the giant salamander's anatomy, habitat, behaviors, life cycle, and role in maintaining the balance of the natural world"--Provided by publisher.
