Animals We Had No Idea Were Actually Shockingly Massive

The World's Largest Salamander And Amphibian

If you weren't having nightmares about the other animals on this list, this giant Chinese salamander might change that. These creepy looking things are the world's largest amphibians, and they sometimes smell like pepper. They also make noises that sound like a small child.

These salamanders are critically endangered and need to be protected. The fully aquatic amphibian likes rocky streams, and it looks like it would blend right into the rocks.
