Female salamanders lay eggs from July to August every year, and the eggs are laid in rock caves, with more than 300 eggs per tail, and the rest of the rearing tasks are handed over to male salamanders. Male salamanders bend their bodies into a semicircle and surround their eggs to avoid being washed away by water or being harmed by enemies. Only after 2-3 weeks, when young salamanders hatch,15-40 days later, the little "giant salamanders" disperse their lives, and the male salamanders are willing to leave. The life span of giant salamander is also the longest among amphibians, and it can live for 130 years under the condition of artificial feeding.
