With their large flattened heads, small beady eyes and slimy skins, Japanese giant salamanders are not destined to take home the prize for "best-looking". However, according to a team of scientists they may just be eligible for the most "awesome dad" award, at least amongst amphibian males who are not known for their nurturing personalities.

                    1. Japanese giant salamanders are 5 feet long. a. The author refers to them as ancient animals because they were around for, "20 million years" even though the earth is only 6,000 years old. b. These salamanders can be found on Kyushu Island and western Honshu in Japan. 2. A den-master is a large male salamander. a. 3 ways they protect their young are: Swallowing their eggs so they won't get infected, Fan their tails to ensure water circulation so that the developing eggs would have better exposure to oxygen, and, uses their heads and bodies to agitate or stir the eggs. 3. Another amphibian that could receive a best dad award is the Chinese giant salamander. a. This salamander is on the endangered list because of destruction of their habitat. Critical Thinking Question: We don't want species of animal to go extinct because otherwise, we will never see that animal on the earth again.

                      Actually, the Earth is 4.54 billion years old, which is in the area of 4540 million years, which is noticeably higher then 20 million years. Human civilization has been around for about 5 millennia(5000 years). Is that what you're thinking of?
