He’s a monster: Karlo the giant salamander hailed as largest amphibian on Earth

Meet Karlo, the largest amphibian in the world. The monster Chinese giant salamander is the biggest of its kind, having being measured at 1.58m (5ft, 2in), Prague Zoo said on Sunday. The critically endangered animal is thought to be about 38 years old and weighs 35kg (77lb). He is one of the star attractions at the zoo, which received him 19 months ago from the State Museum of Natural History in Karlsruhe, Germany.

They are bizarre creatures but I wouldn’t ever call them ugly. They are so strange-looking but they are so unusual in the end it’s attractive!
