I have a request! I'm a recreational fisherman from the northeast and have a fascination with northern Pike, pickerel and Muskellunge. Can you please show a deep dive on one of them especially their teeth and skull! I would appreciate that so much!
Note how the hellbender has large folds of skin. This is because this salamander does not have gills and absorbs oxygen via osmosis through its epidermis. So more skin= better oxygenation
I know the Hellbender gets a lot of the press for being the heaviest amphibian in North America but the Greater Siren and the Two-Toed Amphiuma get longer (40" max I believe). I think outside of the Japanese and Chinese giant salamanders only some caecilians get comparable in length.
Just wanted you to know that what you’re doing here is extremely appreciated. We’ve all learned a lot from your videos and I hope your channel continues to prosper. ✊
This is so cool, I’m studying salamander osteology at the moment for my Masters project at uni and I work with CT scans from specimens like this to produce 3D models of their skeletons. Andrias japonicus is such a pain as its so big that the file sizes are huge but gosh darn they’re so cool. The largest living amphibians. Their skeletal anatomy is also quite strikingly different from other salamanders.
@@bilginoyuncu1588 idk if there have been any studies specifically addressing that but larger body size usually evolves when there an abundance of food and few predators. The cryptobranchids, including all the species of Asian Giant salamanders and the American hellbender are all larger than other salamanders so I’m guessing their ancestors had some reason to grow larger. They are also benthic so live at on the bottom of freshwater systems so camouflage well - maybe another reason why they can grow so big as predators can’t see them.
Will you start making longer videos? I’d LOVE to see a one hour video about a specific topic! Love your videos, you always cheer me up. Greetings from Italy ❤
Did you know: The word salamander comes from greek and means "fire lizard" This is because the ancient greeks believed that the yellow spotted fire salamander (salamandra samalandra) could live in fire. The reason for this belief is that the fire salamander lives under logs and in dead wood throughout europe. Now when they used to burn wood, those salamanders would seemingli "crawl right out of the fire"
I’ve been wondering, is there any advantage of keeping a wet specimen compared to a taxidermy skin and complete skeleton? I suppose each has its own pros and cons.
A while back I did this construction course on heat/frost insulating and our symbol is the fire salamander, always loved them and when I got all my awards and paperwork/patches & stickers, I really started to learn more about them. Truly fascinating, great video! Keep up the good work! Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season! Take care all!
This was unsuspecting cute! The salamanders looking so adorable and you being precious and respectful of the specimen. Even your face from 6.04 min on is full of awe! So cute! Keep up the good work bruv!
My guy forgot the word "propel" I am glad to see that I am not the only one who forgets words. BTW this fluid seem to make samples lose their color and become yellowish ,or am I seeing wrong? What methods are used to preserve their colours though? thank you
I loved this video, I mean, I just love Salamanders in general cuz they're so incredible, with they unique capability to regenerate all ther body-parts, is just awesome for me seeing a incredibly big salamander, I didn't knew they could get that BIG.
I haven’t been a subscriber for long so I’m not sure if you’ve mentioned it before, but with specimens that are more rare/ endangered, how do you get them? Are they found dead or killed? I’d love to know! Thanks and keep up the great content!
How do you have so much dead animals? Do you own them or do you borrow them from somewhere? I’m curious, if anyone else knows the answer please tell me.
Do you have any of those tortoises that sailors tried bringing back to Europe, but they kept eating them because they were too delicious? Would be so cool if we could grow that tortoise's meat in a lab.
Usually very large animals are preserved as dry specimens and they either taxidermy it (if it’s a mammal/bird) or preserve the skin and bones separately. But sometimes they will still store large animals as wet specimens in huge tanks a museum did this with a colossal squid it’s a huge tank
LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEEEEE 😍😍 Also do you have a POBOX where we can send you things, I crochet and know you only wear beanies would loooove to send some over
Isnt formalin used to preserve bodies that can decompose? If thats formalin how can you not stand around it without gagging? Ive been around H2S gas a lot and id take that instead of formaline any day
That's really it cool, it puts into perspective on how big it is! Awesome videos! I have question, maybe a weird one 🤣 buttttt... Does it smells just like ethanol or does it have a weird smell? I know they're preserved but like, they're in liquid and plus animals have their own smell. It got me thinking because you don't wear a mask or anything, but you work with these, so there's also the possibility that you don't wear it because you got used to it... Just me overthinking, thanks 🤣🤣
I was at the animal history museum and I asked why is ethanol with stored specimens brownish and they also gave me ''idk, I think'' answer and now I'm convinced that that is like and inside thing with people working in this field to never tell people the exact reason for ethanol being brown
I love the face of the Japanese one, he was just chilling
Chilling dead 😂😭
The smile tho it's so cute although hella ugly while alive
He’s dead 😂
Ya your face tends to do that when there’s no blood flow
huh?????

I once ate a panko breaded northern from the Boundary waters area on the Minnesota side while camping. It was so good
He not gonna do that shit 💀💀💀💀

Yeah they are also a great cartoon series
Are they dead did you kill them?😡
He didn’t, but they’re dead.
Bro holding that thing up like it’s his new born baby 😂💀
That's still a relatively small version of the Japanese salamander, I believe.
oh yeah, I think they can get about twice the size of the one seen here
feels like an action figure unboxing for some reason, and I love it

Japanese salamander: am big
Metoposaurus hiding 100s of millions of years ago: 🗿
Japanese salamander in response be like: ruclips.net/video/uj1Nal1SIeM/видео.html

Why they are bigger than other salamanders?

same!! I would love to
Wast coast
Wat
Hello
Amazing how you can smell the preserved animals through the screen
They are all beautiful I absolutely love salamanders... thanks for sharing them with us
This is officially my favorite video on RUclips, love giant salamanders
Bro this guy has too much animals💀
*specimens
@@Alanna_Nedrow they're still animals lol
@@averagemordhauplayer4821 yeah ik lol
Bro has way to many 💀
What did you say?
I love the salamander in the “Wast” coast

This is a question I’ve been willing to ask for a long time, do you preserve cats, dogs, and plants? Or is it just rare animals?
Taxidermy exists, which is how dogs and cats are usually preserved
@@Lara-234 Thank you, I also have another question: what do they do with the insides and organs after removing them?
@@user-jp4qh2gv6m throw them in the trash I'm guessing
@@SoulDelSol But wont that got to waste? Can’t you feed it to dogs or other animals?
@@user-jp4qh2gv6m can you feed your dog with another dog organs?
Would be cool to create a digital library with photos and 3d models for every animal

Now all I think of is pickled salamander
Lived in NC for five years and I saw my first wild hellbender this year. Thought it was a rock moving at first
My guy forgot the word "propel" I am glad to see that I am not the only one who forgets words.
BTW this fluid seem to make samples lose their color and become yellowish ,or am I seeing wrong? What methods are used to preserve their colours though? thank you
You're right about it changing the colour
I dont know why I'm just expecting them to bring back to life
I'm glad you have every animal ever
I watch this channel religiously
Disclaimer, everything on this channel is dead except for the host, and my passion for learning
Imagine if he lifted a specimen and it just…broke. I wonder what happens after that.
He carefully places it back together so next person thinks they broke it
The japanese salamander looks like a real life Pokemon

He is single handedly responsible for the extinction of the dodo
It depends on the circumstances. A lot of times they are killed
Most these days are ones in zoos etc or a sanctuary that died of natural causes, back in the day however they would've hunted them
@@eliegbert8121 Good to know! Thank you!
@@Lara-234 That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
I'd love to see the paleontology collection!
I love this stuff
Do you make pickles at home, or do you prefer keeping private life separate from work?
"What a good looking guy!"
*Cut to the most wonderfully derpy nightmare demon ever seen*
How do you have so much dead animals? Do you own them or do you borrow them from somewhere?

I would love seeing your cutest specimens in a video! Love you content btw, and congrats on 800k!
That thing could swallow a whole hellbender in one gulp!
LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEEEEE 😍😍
Also do you have a POBOX where we can send you things, I crochet and know you only wear beanies would loooove to send some over
Can you do Kiwi bird please? I really want to know how it looks like in the inside! I think it will be very intersting! Thank you!
I never knew I wanted to watch this until you made these videos
Wondering about how do they preserve specimens without damaging their bodies
The *Word* you were looking for was *"Propel"* . Thanks for the closer look at these fascinating Amphibians!👌😇
One question man, whenever I see one of your cool animal videos, does the yellow liquid kinda smell bad?
2:38 oneycartoons yayyyyy
Did you mean “propel”? Also, I was so happy to see salamanders. ;;;; They don’t get enough love.
Give the giant salamander a cigarette, and it is my uncle
You ready to come out? 🤗
The giant salamander: :))
Do you have any animal specimens from Indonesia? Cus personally I am Indonesian, I love your videos and I love studying about animals
I'm new here, this is not the salamander video I thought I was 😳
2:46 Juicer? PogU
Never even a possibility in my mind that I'd someday watch a video where a dude wrings out a giant salamander, yet here I am.
I'm sad they're not live specimen but really cool none the less.
Isnt formalin used to preserve bodies that can decompose? If thats formalin how can you not stand around it without gagging? Ive been around H2S gas a lot and id take that instead of formaline any day
Wow awesome!!!
You're the best
Can I request big snake?
Thanks
I think this channel needs more spiders. I haven't seen any arachnids here yet.
“Oh shoot it’s leaking” 😏
Listen it will be really interesting if you can show some specimens of platypus- connection between the evolution of mammals from reptiles !
I would be interested to see animals with mutations
How love your
Passion
Now they look like a realistic kid toy
Do you have an antler collection? I would love to see that.
The salamander curled up in the jar - POV: You sleep in a bad position and wake up with a bad neck. And I love how my comment is the 69th.

“A salamander is not a number, its an amphibian.” - some scratch garden music video
I have phobia of lizards and seeing this I know it's not lizard but it literally makes my skin crawl.. didnt finish the video 🤣
everyone should have a large box of some pacific giant salamanders; the biggest in the *wast* coast
Getting flashbacks to playing runescape and doing barrows with a black salamander
That big one is a dino for sure
Your excitement when opening the containers is suspect...
This video is just like one of those toy review videos 😂
You are the best youtuber ever.
“What a good looking guy!” I don’t think he would say that if it was human’s head
You should make a video about guppies and mealworms
5:00 say hello to Del Lago...oh freaking jesus
I have a question.... how does the animals frezed in a frozon position when taken out of the jar?
Could you use them as cursed candles?
i have a question... do the tanks smell like anything? if yes what do they smell like? ... does it stink..
I was at the animal history museum and I asked why is ethanol with stored specimens brownish and they also gave me ''idk, I think'' answer and now I'm convinced that that is like and inside thing with people working in this field to never tell people the exact reason for ethanol being brown
I can’t with you today, I’ll catch you on the next one. I may try this one when I’m more able to handle this. 😅
It must smell awful with all the ethanol fumes
This is so cool! Do you have any surinam toads? The way they give birth is super cool
I got some Salamanders too. But alive.
I like how he says it's one of the biggest salamanders when it *is* the biggest. They are also endangered bruh.
The chinese salamander is bigger than the japanese one.
Can you do the id? That would be amazing!
I like the one in the jar it’s so cute duh
Its so cool seeing this stuff
Why is the japanese salamander so much larger? Just more access to food and territory?
What do you do with all your specimens?
How do these specimens come to be?
How do people prepare/preserve animals that are deadly to touch? (Dart frogs, blue ringed octopus, etc)
Gloves
NAME YOUR DOUBLE HEADED FISH Walter and Jesse
Just curious, Does the preserved speciment smell like something that died?
this guy grows his subs really FAST
I hope specimens like this are ethically obtained but I suspect I would be disappointed if I looked into it
I don't know myself, but some other commenters say that dead animals usually donated by zoos, breeders etc.
