Smithsonian National Zoo Opens Giant Salamander Breeding Center

Op een blog dat ik regelmatig lees trof ik vandaag wat onverwacht salamander-nieuws aan:

Smithsonian National Zoo Opens Giant Salamander Breeding Center

That's right. Five-foot long Japanese salamanders, getting it on outside of Japan for the first time in 100 years. AND, they're seemingly immune to a fungus that's killing off lesser amphibian species, and thus could hold a key to the survival of animals around the globe.
