South China Salamander: World’s Biggest Amphibian
- 06 Jan 2020
- Using DNA from museum specimens, researchers have found that South China Salamander (Andrias sligoi) is the largest amphibian.
- Chinese giant salamanders, which are critically endangered and can grow to nearly 2m long, were previously thought to be of a single species until new research revealed not one, but three different genetic lineages. Only two of them have been analysed by the researchers.
