Japanese Salamander, Full Body Realistic Image, White Background Stock Photo

The Japanese giant salamander (Andria's japonicus) is a fully aquatic amphibian endemic to Japan. It can grow up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) in length, making it the third-largest salamander species globally. Its mottled brown and black skin provides effective camouflage in its natural habitat of cold, fast-flowing mountain streams. Notably, it has small eyes without eyelids and relies on sensory nodes to detect prey due to poor eyesight.
