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.

Giant Slime Log got me 😂😂😂😂 What kind of teeth and bite force do the two different species have? I can tell you that, with a mouth as big as that, I wouldn't want to be close to the bitey end!!
Beautiful animal
Its so coolllll
What an amazing creature I use to dream of seeing those salamanders when I was a kid thank you for sharing them with us
When are we going fishing forest ? 😂😂🍺🍺
Imagine just chillin at home when a giant creature picks you up and says you have huge nuts then leaves
😂
That's actually happened to me twice. 🤣🤣
😂😂
I guess when you were retelling it, you'd leave out that the giant also called you toxic.
It would be like if Zeus came down and told you that. I’d be pumped
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.
Why would we pay for it if we dont work or study the subject? Is not the best thing to see
Dont ever stop doing what you do, its a special power to be able to reach out to the mainstream about conservation
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!
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
He's fake like bear grills
@@smurfie8412bear grills is very misunderstood so you saying that makes me like forest even more
I started with Malcolm McDouglas, that show was so good for me as a kid in the 80s.
Dude wowww I totally forgot about Jeff Corwin too! He was all over my childhood lol dang great nostalgia moment googling his name right there haha
@@smurfie8412 I'll take bear over you any day of the week. Dude is legit. Welcome to modern tv production.
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.
i cant imagine going on a trip with forrest the knowledge he would share would be truly to much to comprehend.
"Imagen"? It's IMAGINE
@@SalvableRuin I'm sorry my first language isn't English lol
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.
Im curious why the stroke has anything to do with you wanting to meet Forrest. Fishing for sympathy much
@@eftheusempire My daughter had a vertebral artery dissection and stroke at 31. She is now partially disabled and can't do all the things she used to enjoy. Many of us who are disabled get great enjoyment from watching shows like these online. It helps to have dreams and goals when one is disabled. If this person had simply said it was a dream someone would most likely be rude( like you) and say , " so do it." Well easier said than done if one is disabled. You obviously have 0 IDEA what it is like to be disabled. Apathy is what is literally ruining our planet. It ruins people and societies as well. Learn some empathy perhaps instead of someone explaining why they can't just run out and do it. Another thought is that when people are in stroke or therapy groups the first thing they do if speaking is give their name & talk about which disability they have. It could have been something as simple as that. Try being kind please. Karma can be a real b*tch.
17:26 “This smells super bad”… sticks his fingers in the other guys face haha
Haha yea wtf.
An additional level of strangeness is that of course he probably knows what it smells like as he looks after them lol. He was nice enough to not respond to that lol
HAHA just finished that part lmaooooooooooooo
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah I was like really Forrest? lol the guy deals with them every day.
Keep doin everything you do for wildlife and this world all together
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
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!
Might be hard to get to the places he goes if you're disabled.
I vote this guy
@@brandon8900 Disability is a spectrum
@@robcobb2693 that's why I said it might be hard
Something happened to me im more special choose me!
Man Forrest and the team are putting out some of the coolest videos on RUclips right now. So stoked we get to watch these clips and see your enthusiasm for these animals!!
It’s truly awesome seeing people who care about populations and ecosystems as a whole
watching content of this quality for free feels like piracy, Hats off to you man.
hi
No you pay for internet
@@smurfie8412maybe YOU do
@@smurfie8412 Are you Broke?
@@redbumblebee4951 because you steal your neighbors internet
Forrest-I was so disappointed when "Extinct Or Alive" stopped production. Great to see stuff like this. Keep up the great content!
Going on a biology related trip with Forest is a top tier bucket list item
Japanese legend tells that these Salamanders used to eat small toddlers/children when they were in the creek with their parents hunting for food. They are quite aggressive. I could see one going at a small infant/toddler. The hybrid was very robust. It's good they have a breeding program. Absolutely amazing animals. The pure bred is huge!
Dude that trip would be A DREAM, like the stuff this dude does is like my dreams.
hi
Work hard , save up your money and just make your dreams come tru my friend 👍
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.
i just love his exitement when he handels these animals
Dude your videos are my favorite. I’ve been watching you for a while and my favorite show series is the extinct or alive one. I love animals and I have loved them for my whole life. The things you do are absolutely awesome
I'm so glad that you made this channel. The fact that you're providing content like this is so important considering the degradation of channels like Discovery and Animal planet. Thank you for what you do and the passion with which you do it!
I love watching Forrest giggle with joy as the Japanese handler was fighting for his life against a salamander.
Id love to go on a wild life trip with Forrest seing someone so passionate about anything is awesome but even more so when its someone saving animals!!
I just recently discovered Forrest and have been absolutely hooked! Love everything about this channel! I'm also crazy jealous to see him getting to see and interact with so many AMAZING animals!
Not only is the work you're doing amazing, but it's a fleeting field. Big props to you and your team. I can't get enough of this! Good work forest!
I thought that was a giant backstrap.
It does look pretty tasty. I thought so myself.
Yep i thought damn i want that tenderloin
Ever eat a roadkill backstrap?
It could be if you’re brave enough to
That’s why they are all endangered species bro. Although I don’t know why someone thought this giant slimey beast would make a good meal
All paid for trip??? That's awesome!!! I wanted to be a herpatologist when i was a kid. I had boas, ball pythons, iguanas bearded dragons, fire belly toads, fish, frogs, etc. I watched Steve Irwin ALLL the time as a kid, and now as a 41 yo man, I've been saying the Forrest is the 21st century Steve Irwin! Love watching your channel and content! Btw, Forrest was one of my grandfathers name😊
❤
dude i hope u win🙌
An adventure trip with Forrest? Literally a dream come true!
I’d love to go on an adventure! Big fan and incredibly appreciative of the work you do to study, preserve, and share all these incredible animals. You show the world how to treat the life and environment around us, truly a leader to look up to. It’s truly my dream to do some of the work you can do.
I cannot think of a more noble calling.
Thank you for posting/educating us all on the things we don’t get to see on network tv. these are the awesome untold stories of our amazing ecosystems.
Giant salamanders are one of my favourite animals, glad you made a video on them!
You can be their favorite thing to bite 🦎
This is why I love YT. Opening my eyes to so many awesome experiences. I’ll travel with you ✋
Incredible videos, I’ve been binging them back to back. Keep up the good work Forrest.
Would love to tag along on one of these expeditions
Current vet student at keele university aspiring to specialise in exotic animals with an ever increasing burning desire for adventure, would love to come on that trip
Big big fan. Born and raised Alaskan, fairly well traveled, hunting and fishing avid outdoorsmen, and big on conservation. I truly love and appreciate all of the work that you do. It'd be a dream come true if I got to go on an adventure with you and share stories. Either way, thank you for all of your efforts to preserve this mote of dust. I just love how you consistently bask in awe and wonder of everything that we have the pleasure to share our existence with!
I had the good fortune to meet Richard earlier this year and learn about the Giant Salamanders. He is doing excellent work protecting these amazing creatures.
Marine corps vet here. Would love to join you and learn and share more of the importance of all animals. Definitely needed
Forest I know you probably won’t see this but you are the coolest and when I first found you on RUclips I couldn’t stop watching and you have inspired me to become a Zoologist thanks ❤
Great seeing these amazing animals and seeing the work Richard and Yuki are doing being shown to the world. Hoping to have the AI working or at least testing next year, so thanks for the photos. Hopefully if it works we can track your salamanders and where they move along the river for years to come.
Would be honored to go on that adventure. This entire new chapter of my life is dedicated to exploring and appreciating all the things life has to offer.
What an insane prehistoric animal. Your excitement and appreciation for every animal is so good to watch.
That is so cool. I remember catching small salamanders in the creek when I was a kid to use as fish bait.
At 45 years old I’ve not seen much of the wild world. To see what you do would be a great experience
Your channel heals my brain from all those tiktoks and reels wich are real brainrot
Greetings from Poland!
What an amazing opportunity to go on a trip with you!! I’ve been following you for years and admire your work so much. I’m so happy to see how much work you put into conserving all these species.
Incredible. You have handled the world's largest amphibian. Watch your fingers!
Been following Forrest for years and so good to see this mans channels growing the way he deserves, great to see the love he has, really is a new age Steve Irwin.
- 17:08 You totally wanted to put your boot on his head to calm him down. Loll we see it ahaha
Crazy to see how these guys are the top dog in their environment! Can’t wait to meet ya Forrest
I'd love to come, thanks for inviting me!
I just love it, thanks a lot for showing us different animals from different parts of the world. Cheers
I have followed you for years and I’ve watch every video from all of your different channels/formats from all adventures to every podcast. I’ve grew up loving reptiles wanting to be a herpetologist my dreams didn’t come true. But an adventure with you would be real close to a dream come true. Thanks
one of the most enjoyable conservationist to watch reminds me of Steve with how passionate he is!
Forrest, count me in on the adventure. Anywhere in the world my backpack will be packed!
Forrest this is amazing I’ve always loved salamanders and newts please keep up the good work we need more information on all animals out there
You’re living the dream and leaving such a positive legacy. Would be amazing to be a small part of that
Hey Forrest! I know this is a long shot but I’ve been a fan since naked and afraid, and have been watching you on Rogan and I truly love your work. I would be honored to go on a trip with you man. I’m at a tough turning point in my life and it can make such an impact. Hard to find something exciting to live for these days. Thanks man!
Your enthusiasm is half of the joy for me. It's inspiring even. Much love from Sweden.
We have only just discovered Forest Galante here in NZ. We are just binging all his shows. Sam (7) is pumped for an animal adventure with Forest
this is one of those animals I’d never believe existed if it weren’t for videos like this
It’d be an absolute privilege to go on a trip with you I’ve been taking inspiration for years and use ur videos in my grade 6 classroom! Thank you Forrest !
Getting to watch such informative and cool videos is awesome. In person would be the only thing better, it would be so cool to get to photograph or sketch them.
Going on a trip with Forrest would be a dream come true!
Everything you do is stuff I've dreamed of doing. I'm so glad you create content to allow us to experience animals we may never see, or may have never even known about!
At 68 and having worked with animals my entire life and owning the largest reptile pet store in Oregon my life would be complete getting to interact with the giant salamander.
man... An adventure with Forrest sounds nice, except for the search of the biggest mosquitos
we do realy apricciate you and what you do for the wildlife and the world, you are a tresure for every nature enthusiast!
very happy to see your content on youtube, in my country there's not much of your shows. Hope to see more interesting animals!!
you’re passion is incredible, much love forrest
What a mystical Creature. Crazy. You are really doing good, Forrest, keep it up.
So excited to have found this channel! As someone who works in conservation, this was amazing to watch 🥰
Awesome video! I can tell by how excited and emotional you get you have a true passion for animals. Thanks for what you do Forrest and keep up the great work!
going on an adventure with forest would be the craziest experience of a lifetime. What a guy and what an animal. Very cool. Shoutout forest for showing us the world we dont even know we are missing, Amazing animals
Amazing video, Forrest! You're right you know. Just like all animals, the Japanese Giant Salamanders deserve our respect and we need to help conserve and protect them. Then they will be loved and appreciated for future generations to come.
I'm an ex-zookeeper going through some hard times, I've been suffering from serious depression this past year, I'd love to join you on an expedition, I think it could really help me get out of my funk, also I love seeing the creatures that inspired the myth of Kappas
Me me me!! I’m 23 a baby conservationist ! One of my all time hero’s! Love and appreciate your work and care and love you have for these animals!
Coming from the South Africa growing up with allot of animals its extremely nice seeing someone that went thru the heart ache of what happened to my neighbours in Zim and doing this amazing work
Your content is amazing, I learn more which each video I watch. Ty for all the work you do
I remember being stationed in Okinawa, Japan for a few years and loved the wildlife and habitat around the island.
Honestly one of the coolest videos I can tell he was so excited made me happy seeing him like that I can feel the passion in his excitement it’s incredible!!!!!
Oh my gosh! that thing is almost unbelievably big! I really hope their tanks that they live in all the time are bigger than the ones shown.
You're hands down the coolest bro-ologist. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us
A trip with you would be out of this world. Absolute bucket list achievement!
wow going on nature excursion with you sounds like the coolest and most unique experience. cheers to you for even doing that
Been subscribed for a while now adore this channel. I love animals and the conservation of them. It would be an incredible opportunity to travel with you. I've been spending time in the wilderness since I was a kid and I'm 27 now! Thanks for taking someone with you regardless of whether it's me or someone else!
Absolutely love what you do for the wildlife community and the animals themselves most importantly! Growing up in a world that we often time forget about these type of things it’s people like forrest that keep what is beautiful available to us ALL THE TIME! Protect the animals at all costs!
14:45 hahahaha Forrest is one of the greatest people on planet Earth !
Your content keeps getting better and better. Canadian here - would love to adventure with you and the team!
always loved these guys, first seen one in an Attenborough documentary. Awesome to see a focus piece on the giant Japanese salamander
Forrest keeping toxic newts as a kid is the most Forrest thing ever
Love your videos! Started watching your podcast from the beginning and i am currently in college started my sophomore year and working on my wildlife degree. Love nature, which you and many others have inspired me.
10:22 I love those salamanders❤ I've always wanted to see one in person!🦎🤯Wow
Rake me I'm absolutely loving your videos been following for a while now and you always inspire me to go out and check out my local habits keep up the work!😊
1:25 Yes and no, it certainly does help to hunt in shallow rather than deep waters but the main reason scientific litterature says that none will be found in deep waters is because as a members of cryptobranchea they need high levels of oxygen in water ( breathing through skin inside water rather than gills). This also aplies to hellbenders and chinese giant salamander. High oxygen waters are usually either streams or the deepening of a waterfall.
This is a really life pokemon... this really blew my socks off 😂
So thankful there's people like you out there.
