BhuThere are billions of living things in the world. Much of what was recorded by man is disappearing from the face of the earth today. Zoologists say that some other species are greatly reduced in number and are on the verge of extinction. The salamander is an endangered amphibian. Homeland is China. It is one of the largest amphibians in the world. A video of a giant salamander from China traversing land in search of water has gone viral on social media.

It is reportedly one of the largest salamanders ever found. They are commonly found in the lakes and rocky mountain streams of the Yangtze River basin in central China. Fully aquatic, they can grow up to six feet. Salamanders are orange-gold in color. A video of a salamander crawling through the ground in search of water with the strength of its front legs has gone viral on social media. Salamanders are one of the food staples of China. Uncontrolled hunting for food has been cited as the reason for their extinction.

Salamanders are a prized food item in China. Some fetch more than $1,500 (Rs 1.24 lakh). The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) declared salamanders as an endangered species in 2004. The Chinese government has classified the salamander as a Class II protected species. It is estimated that 100 salamanders are poached each year in Hupingshan Natural Nature Reserve alone. Fourteen nature reserves have been opened for them since 1980, but they are still few in number. In recent years, their population has suffered a further decline due to an outbreak of epizootic ranavirus infection.
