A Chinese giant salamander measuring 1.4m and 52kg has recently been found in the wild in south-western China, reported Chinese media, which cited experts as saying the endangered amphibian could be more than 200 years old.

The animal was discovered in a cave in Chongqing municipality and has been transferred to an official facility for "protection" and further study, China Central Television (CCTV) said in a posting on its Weibo account on Dec 11.

It added that experts estimated that the creature was more than 200 years old.

It was then ground up to make magic boner pills for old Chinamen.

It survived for 200 years on its own, so lets take it out native enviroment for protection. Probably be dead in a week.

If it lived 200 years there, why move it?

I would've gone with "we're gonna need a bigger wok", but not bad.

Like was said above, they'll somehow ingest it to make their 2 inch dongs "strong like bull."

How can it be in a cave where there is no salt water?

It would have been dead from poachers in a week.

You seem like the type to be into herpes.

I'm sure it's already dead. They cut it in half. How else could they count the rings?
