The National Geographic Channel featured "Clash of the Giant Salamanders" last night (January 17, 2009) on Dangerous Encounters. Dr. Brady Barr sought out the world's four largest salamanders: Hellbender, Japanese Giant Salamander, Greater Siren and Two-toed Amphiuma. Initially, he sought out the Chinese Giant Salamander and not surprisingly was denied access to the salamander's native habitat by the Chinese government. The closest he was able to get to the threatened salamander was watching it being enjoyed as a dish in a restaurant in Beijing.

The National Geographic Channel web site posted two videos from the show which have been embedded below.
