The Anji Salamander is a critically endangered salamander found only on Mount Longwangshan in Anji County. All of the known populations of the salamander are found in a nature preserve so they are somewhat protected but tourists and development are still a threat to them. Breeding season takes place from November to March. Females lay around 150 eggs during the season. It takes around 3 years for the young to reach sexual maturity.
