- This is the Japanese giant salamander, the second largest salamander in the world, and I set out on a mission to find these huge amphibians in Japan. These animals are filled with lore and mystery and we get a closer look at some hybrid animals that are putting the species at risk.
Thank you to Richard Pearce for taking us out.

Giant Slime Log got me 😂😂😂😂 What kind of teeth and bite force do the two different species have? I can tell you that, with a mouth as big as that, I wouldn't want to be close to the bitey end!!
Beautiful animal
Its so coolllll
What an amazing creature I use to dream of seeing those salamanders when I was a kid thank you for sharing them with us
When are we going fishing forest ? 😂😂🍺🍺
Imagine just chillin at home when a giant creature picks you up and says you have huge nuts then leaves
😂
That's actually happened to me twice. 🤣🤣
😂😂
I guess when you were retelling it, you'd leave out that the giant also called you toxic.
It would be like if Zeus came down and told you that. I’d be pumped
17:26 “This smells super bad”… sticks his fingers in the other guys face haha
Haha yea wtf.
An additional level of strangeness is that of course he probably knows what it smells like as he looks after them lol. He was nice enough to not respond to that lol
HAHA just finished that part lmaooooooooooooo
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah I was like really Forrest? lol the guy deals with them every day.
I think we take it for granted that we get to watch content of this quality for free. I’m beyond stoked that Forest is posting videos to his channel.
Why would we pay for it if we dont work or study the subject? Is not the best thing to see
I’m so happy I decided to listen to the episode of JRE when you were on because I haven’t missed many things from your channel or wild times or interviews with you, absolutely love this stuff. Animals are needed
Literally grew up with guys like Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin so seeing a modern version of them in Forrest has been wonderful to see. He's one of if not my favourite new wildlife conservationist
He's fake like bear grills
@@smurfie8412bear grills is very misunderstood so you saying that makes me like forest even more
I started with Malcolm McDouglas, that show was so good for me as a kid in the 80s.
Dude wowww I totally forgot about Jeff Corwin too! He was all over my childhood lol dang great nostalgia moment googling his name right there haha
@@smurfie8412 I'll take bear over you any day of the week. Dude is legit. Welcome to modern tv production.
Forrest, this is an excellent video. No matter how it preforms, this video covers conservation, adventure, science, all while having that wildlife enthusiasm behind it the whole time.
Dont ever stop doing what you do, its a special power to be able to reach out to the mainstream about conservation
Awesome video! I can tell by how excited and emotional you get you have a true passion for animals. Thanks for what you do Forrest and keep up the great work!
Keep doin everything you do for wildlife and this world all together
I'm a disabled vet and love animals..would love to be able to do something w you and see a once in a lifetime animal!
Might be hard to get to the places he goes if you're disabled.
I vote this guy
@@brandon8900 Disability is a spectrum
@@robcobb2693 that's why I said it might be hard
Something happened to me im more special choose me!
Man Forrest and the team are putting out some of the coolest videos on UA-cam right now. So stoked we get to watch these clips and see your enthusiasm for these animals!!
i cant imagine going on a trip with forrest the knowledge he would share would be truly to much to comprehend.
"Imagen"? It's IMAGINE
@@SalvableRuin I'm sorry my first language isn't English lol
watching content of this quality for free feels like piracy, Hats off to you man.
hi
No you pay for internet
@@smurfie8412maybe YOU do
@@smurfie8412 Are you Broke?
@@redbumblebee4951 because you steal your neighbors internet
I thought that was a giant backstrap.
It does look pretty tasty. I thought so myself.
Yep i thought damn i want that tenderloin
Ever eat a roadkill backstrap?
It could be if you’re brave enough to
That’s why they are all endangered species bro. Although I don’t know why someone thought this giant slimey beast would make a good meal
Been following Forrest for years and so good to see this mans channels growing the way he deserves, great to see the love he has, really is a new age Steve Irwin.
Big big fan. Born and raised Alaskan, fairly well traveled, hunting and fishing avid outdoorsmen, and big on conservation. I truly love and appreciate all of the work that you do. It'd be a dream come true if I got to go on an adventure with you and share stories. Either way, thank you for all of your efforts to preserve this mote of dust. I just love how you consistently bask in awe and wonder of everything that we have the pleasure to share our existence with!
Dude that trip would be A DREAM, like the stuff this dude does is like my dreams.
hi
Work hard , save up your money and just make your dreams come tru my friend 👍
man this is literally one of the coolest experiences I think you could have, that salamander looks like an actual Devonian fossil squirming around in the tub.
Incredible videos, I’ve been binging them back to back. Keep up the good work Forrest.
What an amazing opportunity to go on a trip with you!! I’ve been following you for years and admire your work so much. I’m so happy to see how much work you put into conserving all these species.
Thank you for posting/educating us all on the things we don’t get to see on network tv. these are the awesome untold stories of our amazing ecosystems.
Forrest-I was so disappointed when "Extinct Or Alive" stopped production. Great to see stuff like this. Keep up the great content!
Been subscribed for a while now adore this channel. I love animals and the conservation of them. It would be an incredible opportunity to travel with you. I've been spending time in the wilderness since I was a kid and I'm 27 now! Thanks for taking someone with you regardless of whether it's me or someone else!
I just recently discovered Forrest and have been absolutely hooked! Love everything about this channel! I'm also crazy jealous to see him getting to see and interact with so many AMAZING animals!
Id love to go on a wild life trip with Forrest seing someone so passionate about anything is awesome but even more so when its someone saving animals!!
I actually really enjoyed this. It's been a dream to see one of these beasts in real life. As a 31 year old stroke victim, it would be an honor and a privilege to meet you. I appreciate all you do for wildlife and for teaching us the importance of the ecosystem.
Im curious why the stroke has anything to do with you wanting to meet Forrest. Fishing for sympathy much
I have followed you for years and I’ve watch every video from all of your different channels/formats from all adventures to every podcast. I’ve grew up loving reptiles wanting to be a herpetologist my dreams didn’t come true. But an adventure with you would be real close to a dream come true. Thanks
Great seeing these amazing animals and seeing the work Richard and Yuki are doing being shown to the world. Hoping to have the AI working or at least testing next year, so thanks for the photos. Hopefully if it works we can track your salamanders and where they move along the river for years to come.
I love watching Forrest giggle with joy as the Japanese handler was fighting for his life against a salamander.
All paid for trip??? That's awesome!!! I wanted to be a herpatologist when i was a kid. I had boas, ball pythons, iguanas bearded dragons, fire belly toads, fish, frogs, etc. I watched Steve Irwin ALLL the time as a kid, and now as a 41 yo man, I've been saying the Forrest is the 21st century Steve Irwin! Love watching your channel and content! Btw, Forrest was one of my grandfathers name😊
❤
dude i hope u win🙌
very happy to see your content on youtube, in my country there's not much of your shows. Hope to see more interesting animals!!
I’d love to go on an adventure! Big fan and incredibly appreciative of the work you do to study, preserve, and share all these incredible animals. You show the world how to treat the life and environment around us, truly a leader to look up to. It’s truly my dream to do some of the work you can do.
I cannot think of a more noble calling.
Giant salamanders are one of my favourite animals, glad you made a video on them!
You can be their favorite thing to bite 🦎
Current vet student at keele university aspiring to specialise in exotic animals with an ever increasing burning desire for adventure, would love to come on that trip
Not only is the work you're doing amazing, but it's a fleeting field. Big props to you and your team. I can't get enough of this! Good work forest!
Love your videos! Started watching your podcast from the beginning and i am currently in college started my sophomore year and working on my wildlife degree. Love nature, which you and many others have inspired me.
Would love to tag along on one of these expeditions
Marine corps vet here. Would love to join you and learn and share more of the importance of all animals. Definitely needed
Everything you do is stuff I've dreamed of doing. I'm so glad you create content to allow us to experience animals we may never see, or may have never even known about!
Hey Forrest! I know this is a long shot but I’ve been a fan since naked and afraid, and have been watching you on Rogan and I truly love your work. I would be honored to go on a trip with you man. I’m at a tough turning point in my life and it can make such an impact. Hard to find something exciting to live for these days. Thanks man!
Rake me I'm absolutely loving your videos been following for a while now and you always inspire me to go out and check out my local habits keep up the work!😊
Going on a biology related trip with Forest is a top tier bucket list item
What you're doing is incredible, you're actually doing my dream job. Since i was a kid I wanted to see animals in their natural environments, i adore them. I admire how much respect you have for these animals, treating even smaller animals delicately and aggressive animals and keeping them safe. I personally find the more dangerous animals the more interesting, i want to learn all i can about them.
Getting to watch such informative and cool videos is awesome. In person would be the only thing better, it would be so cool to get to photograph or sketch them.
Your content is amazing, I learn more which each video I watch. Ty for all the work you do
Your content keeps getting better and better. Canadian here - would love to adventure with you and the team!
you’re passion is incredible, much love forrest
Forrest this is amazing I’ve always loved salamanders and newts please keep up the good work we need more information on all animals out there
What an insane prehistoric animal. Your excitement and appreciation for every animal is so good to watch.
always loved these guys, first seen one in an Attenborough documentary. Awesome to see a focus piece on the giant Japanese salamander
Your enthusiasm is half of the joy for me. It's inspiring even. Much love from Sweden.
You're hands down the coolest bro-ologist. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us
wow going on nature excursion with you sounds like the coolest and most unique experience. cheers to you for even doing that
I think its really cool what you do honestly when i was younger you were a massive inspiration for me and now i try to help with different endagered animals programs like the spotted quoll reservayion in austtalia
I hope the person who wins the adventure with you realises how amazing it is and that the experience with the animals they get near to nobody else does
Absolutely love what you do for the wildlife community and the animals themselves most importantly! Growing up in a world that we often time forget about these type of things it’s people like forrest that keep what is beautiful available to us ALL THE TIME! Protect the animals at all costs!
Dude your videos are my favorite. I’ve been watching you for a while and my favorite show series is the extinct or alive one. I love animals and I have loved them for my whole life. The things you do are absolutely awesome
I had the good fortune to meet Richard earlier this year and learn about the Giant Salamanders. He is doing excellent work protecting these amazing creatures.
Thank you forest for continueing educating everyone with your videoes ! i feel like i learn so much ! so happy i discovered you on Rogan!
we do realy apricciate you and what you do for the wildlife and the world, you are a tresure for every nature enthusiast!
So thankful there's people like you out there.
This is why I love YT. Opening my eyes to so many awesome experiences. I’ll travel with you ✋
I’ve seen you on Joe Rogan and jays reptiles. I just subscribed!! Love this stuff living the dream!!
So excited to have found this channel! As someone who works in conservation, this was amazing to watch 🥰
It’d be an absolute privilege to go on a trip with you I’ve been taking inspiration for years and use ur videos in my grade 6 classroom! Thank you Forrest !
What a mystical Creature. Crazy. You are really doing good, Forrest, keep it up.
This was truly incredible and special. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. ❤
A wilderness adventure with an expert like Forrest would be incredible.
Love how animals like this can exist and I wouldn't know they do without people like Forrest!!
That is so awesome Forrest. It would be so cool to have your job.
What a joy! I study Eastern Hellbenders. The ability to travel to Japan and see these timeless beauties is a dream! Thank you for promoting their conservation!
Honestly one of the coolest videos I can tell he was so excited made me happy seeing him like that I can feel the passion in his excitement it’s incredible!!!!!
going on an adventure with forest would be the craziest experience of a lifetime. What a guy and what an animal. Very cool. Shoutout forest for showing us the world we dont even know we are missing, Amazing animals
one of the most enjoyable conservationist to watch reminds me of Steve with how passionate he is!
Thanks for the amazing work you are doing to preserve such beautiful species. It’s crazy to think how many have disappeared that we don’t even know about.
Amazing! Love your videos and all the quality work you are doing!!
Forest I know you probably won’t see this but you are the coolest and when I first found you on UA-cam I couldn’t stop watching and you have inspired me to become a Zoologist thanks ❤
this is one of those animals I’d never believe existed if it weren’t for videos like this
I first heard you on Joe Rogan 2 years ago and I've been looking for your stuff for so long and I finally found out you had a youtube channel last week and I've been hooked I would love to go on a trip and learn about different species while hunting invasive ones!
Awesome vid always enjoy Forrest videos
Crazy to see how these guys are the top dog in their environment! Can’t wait to meet ya Forrest
Your channel heals my brain from all those tiktoks and reels wich are real brainrot
Greetings from Poland!
Huge fan of your work love what you do and how you present it you're literally living my dream 😂 keep up the awesome work!👍 (like,subscribed, and now commented)
You’re living the dream and leaving such a positive legacy. Would be amazing to be a small part of that
At 45 years old I’ve not seen much of the wild world. To see what you do would be a great experience
I'm so glad I came across your channel. I loved your shows on AP, and I'm excited to watch more on here. There used to be a giant salamander at the Atlanta Zoo, but not sure if it's still there, though about 1/2 the size of the biggest.
Regarding your message about seeing them in the wild. I would love to, but I refuse to visit Japan until they stop whaling and the slaughtering of dolphins in Taiji.
Amazing video, Forrest! You're right you know. Just like all animals, the Japanese Giant Salamanders deserve our respect and we need to help conserve and protect them. Then they will be loved and appreciated for future generations to come.
Awesome video! Great stuff. Would be interesting to see if hellbenders have hybridized with other species
I remember being stationed in Okinawa, Japan for a few years and loved the wildlife and habitat around the island.
An adventure trip with Forrest? Literally a dream come true!
Never disappoint with a video always ready for you to post 🤘🏼
i just love his exitement when he handels these animals
Love the vids Forrest and love learning about animals
Not only good you highlighted the animal itself, but also the importance of tackling hybridization and protecting his food-sources. It’s rightfully an apex-predator indeed just like the even bigger salamander-species of the far past where. They are living fossils that could give us a clue about the past but also about evolution in general, convergent evolution and even future evolution or astrobiology.
Love the content, miss the tv show. Thank you for doing what you do.
Would be honored to go on that adventure. This entire new chapter of my life is dedicated to exploring and appreciating all the things life has to offer.
Heck yes! I TOTALLY wanna go on an adventure with you guys! Like your vibe you all have...
Love what you do. I've learned so much. Definitely an all around animal lover.
now that is impressive................always amazing to see this type of content
