CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- The giant salamander is a national second-class protected animal reputed as "living fossil". However, two such national treasure animals have been successively discovered in Chongqing's main urban districts. The two have a surprisingly similar body size with a length of 80cm. Now, they have been respectively handed over by the police to Jiangbei District’s fishery administration and Yubei District Agriculture Commission to feed them.

On September 27th, Huayuancun Police Station of Jiangbei District Sub-bureau of Chongqing Public Security Bureau received an alarm from a citizen claiming that he had fished a giant salamander by accident from Jialing River when fishing at Xiangguosi Wharf and took it home, but didn't know what to do with it for its big size, so he called the police for help.

According to the police, the citizen is called Zhu Caiping. On the afternoon of September 26th, Zhu and several fishermen went fishing by the river. Zhu suddenly fished a fish with a length of about 80cm whose cry was like the cry of children. As he didn't know its identity at that time, he directly took it home.

According to the police, as wild animals are subordinate to the management of the forestry departments, they soon contacted Jiangbei District Administration of Fishery and Fishing Port Supervision. Now, the administration has specially appointed persons to feed the giant salamander.

On the same day, at 06:56, Huixing Police Station of Yubei District Public Security Bub-bureau also received an alarm from a citizen. Different from the previous one, this giant salamander was discovered by senior Wang in the green belt of the community. According to the police of Yubei, the giant salamander has been handed over to Yubei District Agriculture Commission to feed it.

The police remind that it is the responsibility and obligation of every citizen to protect rare animals. In order to protect rare animals and give them proper protection, and make people and animals live in harmony, residents need to contact such professional governmental departments such as agriculture and forestry departments or call the police for help in time after picking up a wild animal.
