In one of the most amazing wildlife encounters in my life, we join a local nonprofit group on a nocturnal adventure to try and find the second largest amphibian on the planet: the Japanese giant salamander!
This once in a lifetime opportunity to find a giant salamander in the wild would not have been possible without the help of the talented Richard Pearce, director of Sustainable Daisen. To learn more about how this nonprofit organization is helping to conserve these amazing creatures, please check out their website here:

Richard was also kind enough to share some of the incredible underwater footage he has captured of hanzaki during surveys, including the fantastic close-ups of the face and feeding behavior that are shown in this video.
If you enjoyed this video, please be sure to leave a like and share it with your friends. If you didn't, please leave a comment telling me what I could improve on. For more educational wildlife content, subscribe to my channel. New videos go up on Thursday mornings at 10 AM!

Patreon is gone for now...I wasn't able to keep up with an additional content stream, and want to provide a better experience for my fans. Looking into alternatives now.

If you've made it this far in the description, remember to be safe when creature adventuring! Most wild animals can cause injury if harassed, and I do not recommend attempting to capture any creatures without purpose and practice. The reason that I interact with wildlife is to produce these educational videos, and I have years of zoology experience under my belt. Also, I always ask permission from a land owner before exploring on their property, and you should do the same.
Keep adventuring everywhere, and keep your adventures safe at all times!
-Ben Zino
"How many are your works, Lord? In wisdom you made them all, the earth is full of your creatures."
