What is a giant newt?

The giant salamander is a type of newt known not only as the largest species, but also the largest amphibians. It belongs to the Crytobranchoid family , a subordinate that can be dated from Jurassic age.

It may belong to the same family as the Asian Giant Army, but is categorized in another family, as is different according to its scientific name Crytobranchus alleganiensis . Hellbender has a maximum length of 2.4 feet (74 cm).
