Oops I got double pics....Sorry.

This is the big Andrias from the Animal Planet "Amazing Amphibians" show. I took the pic at the Tottori City Museum. It's pickled in case you can't tell....

Very cool. Erik, if you're still in Tottori, be sure not to miss the Hanzaki Center in neighboring Shimane Prefecture. You also might want to visit the Himeji City Aquarium, where there is a Andrias documentation center and lots to see

Its director, Takeyoshi Tochimoto, is an authority on giant salamanders.

I just saw them for the first time at the Detroit Zoo last week. Amazing animals.
