The fact the salamander was calm shows me it has been treated well almost all its life and that makes me smile.

[itsyasminn]

am i the only one that loves how loving, gentle and caring he is toward animals? its so cute.

[estebanpalacios]

when you're just chilling and some dude is screaming in your face about how big you are

[TenThumbsProductions]

You really do have to admire how respectful he is to both nature and culture as well as how grateful he is.

[rosethehat]

That salamander was so friendly and chill. I hope he continues to live a long, safe life!

[annebunster]

9:40 bruh you can tell he’s over 100, he’s completely CHILLIN just like “yeah is it time for the humans to fondle me? no prob y’all”

[iansawyer]

Coyote really had to hurt that salamander’s feeling when he said “his head’s the size of a cantaloupe”

[namelessnavnls]

I can really tell Dr. Okada really takes such good and attentive care of these animals. That salamander was so calm the entire time, it never panicked or lashed out defensively, even despite the fact that it was once hurt by people accidentally. It knew it was safe and didn't seem stressed in the slightest. The littler ones seemed to be very similar in behavior! It's good to know that such a magnificent and potentially vulnerable creature is so well looked after and respected.

[Shadow-jwkt]

I love how unbelievably respectful to the animals and the experts he works with. He’s a young Steve Irwin in the making.

[buckeyehockey]

So respectful to both the animal and the culture. That goes a long way in Japan. The genuine passion for and love of these animals shows in these episodes.

[ricksturgis]

I absolutely admire his level of respect for both the animals he handles and the cultures of the people he interacts with. It's truly wonderful.

[merrr]

14 kg, that is so huge... love to see they protecting this animals❤

[siopao]

Salamander: - is very old -

Queen Elizabeth: finally a worthy opponent at last

[dominique]

Coyote Peterson: "Holding hands with a Japanese Giant Salamander"
Salamander: "Oh, I didn't know you were so romantic..."

[Username-wrsc]

You can tell it's a Japanese Salamander, it got into the net so politely.

[Alkalus]

Japan has such a high life expectancy that even its animals can live for so long. What a blessed country.

[gorrillawarfair]

"They have incredibly sharp teeth and he is very big"
*2 seconds later*
"Now let me get my hand underneath the jaw...."

[justsomespice]

I am in awe at the size of this absolute unit

[mostlyghostey]

Look at his cute little paw-like hands!!! So cute!
