I Found The World's Largest Salamander

This is the Japanese giant salamander, the second largest salamander in the world, and I set out on a mission to find these huge amphibians in Japan. These animals are filled with lore and mystery and we get a closer look at some hybrid animals that are putting the species at risk.

Thank you to Richard Pearce for taking us out.

Literally grew up with guys like Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin so seeing a modern version of them in Forrest has been wonderful to see. He's one of if not my favourite new wildlife conservationist

I think we take it for granted that we get to watch content of this quality for free. I’m beyond stoked that Forest is posting videos to his channel.

[darreneccles]

Dont ever stop doing what you do, its a special power to be able to reach out to the mainstream about conservation

[dennistimmermans]

i cant imagine going on a trip with forrest the knowledge he would share would be truly to much to comprehend.

[LifesWildAdventures]

Forrest, this is an excellent video. No matter how it preforms, this video covers conservation, adventure, science, all while having that wildlife enthusiasm behind it the whole time.

What a joy! I study Eastern Hellbenders. The ability to travel to Japan and see these timeless beauties is a dream! Thank you for promoting their conservation!

[blakesimpson]

Going on a biology related trip with Forest is a top tier bucket list item

[newlife]

Keep doin everything you do for wildlife and this world all together

I'm a disabled vet and love animals..would love to be able to do something w you and see a once in a lifetime animal!

[connormcintosh]

man this is literally one of the coolest experiences I think you could have, that salamander looks like an actual Devonian fossil squirming around in the tub.

[DoubleKlutchRacing]

I’m so happy I decided to listen to the episode of JRE when you were on because I haven’t missed many things from your channel or wild times or interviews with you, absolutely love this stuff. Animals are needed

[KinggKreature]

I actually really enjoyed this. It's been a dream to see one of these beasts in real life. As a 31 year old stroke victim, it would be an honor and a privilege to meet you. I appreciate all you do for wildlife and for teaching us the importance of the ecosystem.

watching content of this quality for free feels like piracy, Hats off to you man.

[tangarz]

I love watching Forrest giggle with joy as the Japanese handler was fighting for his life against a salamander.

[richardk]

Forrest-I was so disappointed when "Extinct Or Alive" stopped production. Great to see stuff like this. Keep up the great content!

[connorobren]

Man Forrest and the team are putting out some of the coolest videos on YouTube right now. So stoked we get to watch these clips and see your enthusiasm for these animals!!
