  • evil and hateful creatures. Their heads can be smashed in with rocks quite easily though.

  • @toranamunter SMASH YOUR FUCKING HEAD YOURSELF IDIOTA

  • @toranamunter they're not evil, or hateful. They're effing wild. Predators don't like being effed with, ever. If you grab anything that eats other animals, it'll probably bite you. Just common sense-which is sadly in danger of extinction.

  • @djking2d they must be thwarted. I don't hear any hippy whinging about T Rex being extinct.

  • @toranamunter What the dicks are you even talking about? No animal needs to be "thwarted" or deliberately killed off by people, especially not these things. What the hell makes you think they're so "evil and hateful" anyway? Lemme guess, the fact that they're not cute and fuzzy?

  • their relatives are noobs?

  • must attack the weakspot for massive damage

  • @piroozz y hunt it if it cant be eaten?

  • @s0mthingsmells it's so ugly how can they eat such an ugly beast?

  • @piroozz I guess not, I think that they want to protect, not kill them :)

  • wowo i wonder what other giant creatures japan has

  • i love Japanese for they protect they're wildlife.. even modify any environment that can cause extinction to their wildlife rared species... keep up the good work Japanese people, animals need your help to survive, as of us people... we need them in the balance of mother nature....

  • @CPBlazier

    I was just thinking the same thing lol. Like a tourist takes a trip to Japan, and starts walking in a shallow river, or creek bed, and spots a giant salamander, they would freak out!

  • didn't know this existed

  • I've heard these are quite good in lemon sauce..Loll

  • @trunk516 I was born and raised in a Japan's rural area. As far as I know, even Japanese people who live in rural areas don't eat amphibians and reptiles. However, bears, wild boars, deer, and hares etc have been being eaten by rural Japanese people.

  • Comment removed

  • They must come from around Hiroshima or Nagasaki

  • That thing is so weird.

    I bet those god damn zipper heads ate that salamander

  • I wonder what they taste like..

  • Once we made nuclear weapons, I think that's when Mother Nature said "Oh Shit! Okay, you guys can do whatever you want, just don't hurt me!" Haha well, as soon as somebody starts to farm and breed stock whales I'll be okay with it, but they're a dying group of animals, that's why. chickens and cows aren't going anywhere as long as we farm them.

  • Removing the emotional element of whaling, im not qualified to know the pros/cons of the industry. However, listening to a bunch of burger eating chicken loving animal k
