A 30-year-old giant salamander in a German zoo. Both sexes maintain a territory, averaging 40 m 3 (1,400 cu ft) for males and 30 m 3 (1,100 cu ft) for females. [6] The reproductive cycle is initiated when the water temperature reaches 20 °C (68 °F) [6] and mating occurs between July and September. [27]
Both males and females grow to an adult length of 24 to 40 cm (9.4 to 15.7 in) from snout to vent, with a total length of 30 to 74 cm (12 to 29 in), making them the fourth-largest aquatic salamander species in the world (after the South China giant salamander, the Chinese giant salamander and the Japanese giant salamander, respectively) and the ...
When he gets his next bite, he puts on a fishing harness and one of the scientists grabs a handle on the back of the harness. He manages to bring it in, and it is 10 feet long and roughly 700 pounds. Based on its length and weight, Wade and the scientists estimate that it is 200 years old. The team tags the shark and release it.
The largest South China giant salamander, which researchers said is likely the largest amphibian ever recorded, lived during the first half of the 20th century and was housed at the London Zoo for ...
Greater siren out of water. Greater sirens are carnivorous and prey upon invertebrates (such as insects, crustaceans, gastropods, bivalves, spiders, molluscs, and crayfish) [11] and aquatic vertebrates (such as small fish) [11] with a possible preference for molluscs (such as snails and freshwater clams), [8] [12] although they have been observed to eat vegetation such as algae.
The Japanese giant salamander (Andrias japonicus) reaches up to 1.44 m (4.7 ft) in length, feeds at night on fish and crustaceans, and has been known to live for more than 50 years in captivity. [ 2 ]
