Extended data:
Giant salamander (also known as giant salamander, giant salamander) lives in a stream with clear water, low water temperature and many deep pools at an altitude of 200 ~1000 meters, lives alone in caves and caves, and goes out at night.
Giant salamander likes shade and is afraid of light, and its growth speed is slow. It takes 5-6 years to reach sexual maturity in wild conditions, and its weight is more than 500 grams. Under artificial conditions, it will take at least 3 years to reach the commodity specifications.
Moreover, artificial reproduction of giant salamander is difficult. Therefore, farming is very uncommon, limited to a few farms in Jiangsu, Hubei and Guangdong.
