Giant Japanese Salamanders

Giant salamanders, some growing up to 5-feet in length, face a barrier of dams in Japan, built to control flooding. Now it's hoped a new system will help these giant amphibians get upstream past the dams to lay their eggs.

@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?

imagine if that thing had an itch on its back

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

@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.

@icequeen9 Yes, they have.
