Trinity Alps giant salamander

The Trinity Alps giant salamander is an alleged species of giant salamander that is reported to live in the Trinity Alps of northern California. Said to be from 5 to 9 metres (16 to 30 feet) long,[1] it was first reported in the 1920s.[2] No conclusive proof of this salamander's existence has ever been produced, even though reputable scientists have tried to locate it. The species features in cryptozoology sites.[3]
