Japanese giant salamander

These huge salamanders are easily disturbed and very sensitive to camera lights. This rarely-filmed fish hunting behaviour was shot using a flexible high-definition polecam and with the HD camera in an underwater housing. The cameraman had to wear an awkward dry suit to withstand the freezing temperatures and anchor himself in the fast-flowing river with a grappling hook.
