largest living
meet the giant chinese salamander. the largest living amphibian, it can get upwards of five, six feet. i love these lil’ guys, or i should say, big guys. i think i saw one in china at the creepy museum of natural history. can’t remember. something about this photo disturbs me, yet it’s a rather cute creature. look at those paws.
have a great weekend. eat lots of chocolate eggs!

stick some of those giant googly eyes on it and you’ve got yourself some sorts of pokemon.

nat – yeah, the bright sherbert orange color is reminiscent of the pokemon universe.
eric – thanks! i’m so glad you noticed that i lost weight. now go to hell for reminding me of the fact that it’s just the opposite.
sheeree – according to science, those tiny little does are more like sensory nodes than eyes. their vision is super poor, and rely on other senses to hunt. so i guess you could say they’re legally blind, in the animal kingdom anyway.
