Close encounters with Japan’s ‘living fossil’

He quickly became clear that the giant salamander enthusiasm Claude Gascon hit the button to blow his nose.
This is a dinosaur, is unbelievable, he said.
We speak of salamanders, which is generally in the palm. This will cut the hand. As a leading provider of (Conservation International CI) academic programs and co-chairman of the Special amphibians’ International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Mr. Gascon has only seen a few frogs and salamanders in life, but just said, comparing the information.
Fortunately for all of our positions, this giant salamander is able to deny anything, trapped in a tank in the visitor center in the city of Maniwa, about 800 km west of Tokyo.
But it is certainly impressive: about 1.7 meters (5 feet 6 inches) long with a leathery skin, which speaks of decades past his head covered with a mass of gnarled root, whose sensitivity for suspects movement of fish is probably contributed thousands to catch up in life.
When you give the tradition of faith, but this example from a single tadpole compared to the largest ever seen around Maniwa.
A history of the 17th century to us in relation to cultural heritage officer, Takashi Sakata, tells the story of a salamander (or Hanzak in that language) is 10m long, who plundered his way through scenery chomping cows and horses in the title of.
A local hero has been found, a Hikoshiro the Mitsui, the Hanzak to swallow him and his trusty sword over – which is then used to implement the most heroic, according to tradition, the animal stem to stern when allowed.
It turned out to be not arrested as good, but.
Cultures are not, people began to die in mysterious ways – including by the Hikoshiro.
Soon the villagers, the obvious conclusion is that the spirit Salamander revenge from the grave, and must be appeased. Therefore Maniwa city has a sanctuary Hanzak.
History shows that the cultural importance that these strange creatures in some parts of Japan.
Scientific importance, is now in two key areas: the living fossil identity and seemingly peaceful coexistence with the chytrid fungus that destroyed so many other species of amphibians from Australia to the Andes.
The skeleton of this species is almost identical to that of fossil occurred 30 million years, said Takeyoshi Tochimoto, director of the Institute near Hanzak Hyogo.
It is a living fossil . The Hanzak (japonicus Andrias) has only two close relatives alive, the Chinese giant salamander (davidianus A.), quite similar in size and shape and habits, the two cross easily and much smaller, hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis) from South-eastern United States.
