The salamanders are awesome and apparently smell a lot like rhubarb!

I wouldn't try and pet a tanuki though, that would just be asking to be bitten.

Hondo Stoats are stoatally adorable, though I don't have a picture. They're little and go completely white in the winter. Horribly endangered though.

This is a pretty good site for other animals: Japan's #1 Animal Blog - Japanese Animals, Fish, Birds, Reptiles, Insects and Wildlife

Just found this wandering along the decking outside my school. What the hell is it? Looks like some sort of strange worm/slug thing cleverly disguised as a stick.　　If you touched it, it freaked out wiggling all over, then lay straight and solid on the floor like a twig until it thought the coast was clear.
