The South China giant salamander (Andrias sligoi) is a species of very large salamander endemic to southern China, mainly in the Pearl River basin south of the Nanling Mountains. It may be the largest species of salamander and the largest amphibian in the world. It is extremely endangered and nearly extinct in the wild.[3]
