Japanese "giant" giant salamander

[TJ]

This giant measured 150.5 cm long and weighed 27.6 kilos when it died in July last year after a decade in captivity. It's now on display at the
Hiroshima City Asa Zoological Park.

(I suppose search engines over there can't access pages like these are they're all in Japanese)
