    I can really tell Dr. Okada really takes such good and attentive care of these animals. That salamander was so calm the entire time, it never panicked or lashed out defensively, even despite the fact that it was once hurt by people accidentally. It knew it was safe and didn't seem stressed in the slightest. The littler ones seemed to be very similar in behavior! It's good to know that such a magnificent and potentially vulnerable creature is so well looked after and respected.

The Chinese giant salamander is only slightly larger than the Japanese one.

    I sought out this salamander and found your video because I found what I believe to be several young ones, living in the water near my house. I bought an old Japanese kominka style house in Hiroshima Prefecture's countryside last Christmas. Since then, I have found quite an assortment of interesting things -- just like being on a treasure hunt. Most recently, I found a WWII officer's katana and discovered these little salamanders living in some water in front of my house, which is always there whether there is rain or not. Currently, a friend's mom, who works at Hiroshima university, is going to show my video of these critters to the science department to find out if they really are the unique Osan Sho uo. If they are, then I am concerned for their safety as they are exposed in their current location, and will take steps to have them properly relocated. Very exciting stuff!
