London Zoo's new resident is a bit of the head-turner.
Professor Wu, who measures over a metre in length, arrived at the end of November and visitors can now see him in a new section of the "Land of Giants" exhibit at the zoo.
The leader of Zoological Society of London’s reptile and amphibian team, Ben Tapley said:
He's an impressive size, measuring 1.3metres from snout to tail, and on top of that he has a feisty personality – it took a team of four of us to move him to his new custom-built home.
As well as an exciting new arrival here at the zoo, this giant salamander is a great representative for our ground breaking conservation project in China, where we really want to turn the fate of this critically endangered and evolutionary distinct species around.
