Historically, cormorant fishing has taken place in Japan and China since about 960 AD. This technique has also been used in other countries but is currently under threat in China.The Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus) is the largest salamander and largest amphibian in the world, reaching a length of 180 cm (5.9 ft), although it rarelyif everreaches that size today. It is endemic to rocky, mountain streams and lakes in China. It also occurs in Taiwan, probably as a result of introduction. It is considered critically endangered due to habitat loss, pollution, and overcollection, as it is considered a delicacy and used in traditional Chinese medicine. It has been listed as one of the top 10 focal species in 2008 by the Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) project.gorge ggorge gd d n. 峡谷；胃；暴食；咽喉；障碍物vt. 使吃饱；吞下；使扩张vi. 拚命吃；狼吞虎咽n.

Like most monkeys, they are social creatures and spend a great deal of time grooming each other. Langurs are essentially vegetarian with a diet of buds, fruits and tender young leaves. Babies are born with ginger fur, which gradually turns black from the tail end. Young infants have a vice-like grip, used to cling on to mum for dear life.
