Giant Salamanders Helped to Spawn

The video below presents a new program in Japan that is helping giant salamanders get past dams built to control flooding so the rare amphibians can lay their eggs upstream.

Giant Salamanders are the largest living amphibians known today. The Japanese giant salamander reaches up to 4.7 ft long, feeds on fish and crustaceans, and has been known to live for more than 50 years in captivity.
