The South China giant salamander may be extinct, and there are less than 50,000 Chinese giant salamanders and 590 Ozark hellbenders left in the wild. Biologists aren't quite sure how many Japanese giant salamanders are left in the wild though its conservation status is near threatened. There are about 13,000 Pacific giant salamanders in British Columbia.
Pollution, habitat destruction, over-harvesting
Their size
Hellbenders are called hellbender salamander, devil dog, water dog, mud dog, grampus, mud devil, Allegheny alligator and leverian water newt. Chinese giant salamanders are called infant fish because they make a noise like a baby’s cry. The Japanese giant salamander is called the giant pepper fish, or Ōsanshōuo because of the smell it gives off.
