The largest amphibian in the world: the Chinese salamander. The Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus) is the largest salamander in the world, reaching a length of 180 cm. However, they rarely reach that size today because they are often eaten. Living conditions in the rocky mountain streams and lakes of China, the salamander is in critical danger of being exposed due to habitat loss, pollution, and over capture, because its meat is considered a delicacy and used in traditional Chinese medicine.
