Winding between Zhangjiajie's peaks, crystal clear mountain streams are home to what is perhaps China's strangest creature.
蜿蜒在張家界的山峰間清澈見(jiàn)底的溪流中，居住著一種中國(guó)最奇怪的生物。
This bizarre animal is a type of newt, the Chinese Giant Salamander. In China, it is known as the baby fish, because when distressed, it makes a sound like a crying infant.
這種奇異的動(dòng)物屬于蠑螈的一種——中國(guó)大鯢。在中國(guó)，它被稱(chēng)之為娃娃魚(yú)，這個(gè)稱(chēng)呼源自當(dāng)它悲傷時(shí)發(fā)出的類(lèi)似嬰兒哭泣的聲音。
It grows up to a metre and a half long, making it the world's largest amphibian.
大鯢成年體長(zhǎng)1-1.5米，這使它成為世界上最大的兩棲類(lèi)動(dòng)物。
Under natural conditions, a Giant Salamander may live for decades. But like so many Chinese animals, it is considered delicious to eat.
在自然條件下，一只大鯢可以活到十歲。但是和很多其他中國(guó)動(dòng)物一樣，它被視為美味佳肴。
Despite being classed as protected species, giant salamanders are still illegally sold for food.
盡管被列為國(guó)家級(jí)保護(hù)動(dòng)物，大鯢仍然被當(dāng)作食物非法買(mǎi)賣(mài)。
And the baby fish is now rare and endangered in the wild.
現(xiàn)在娃娃魚(yú)已經(jīng)非常稀有，在自然界瀕臨滅絕了。
Fortunately in a few areas like Zhangjiajie, Giant Salamanders still survive under strict official protection.
幸運(yùn)的是在像張家界這樣的一些地方，大鯢在政府的嚴(yán)格保護(hù)下得以幸存。
