New zoological research has suggested a growing human appetite for the Chinese giant salamander has pushed the world's largest amphibian to the brink of extinction in the wild. The creatures, which date back 170 million years, have in recent times become a delicacy. Researchers say they've nearly completely disappeared from their traditional freshwater habitats.

'Brink of' is also in 'Last male northern white rhino dies' and 'Spain in crisis after Catalan vote'. The other words are also being repeated several times. I'm sure you do it on purpose. That's brilliant. Thank you very much for your work.

I really like this programme! English seems to be so easy when you give your explanations! I love the word slithering by the way.... it could sound a little bit creepy but it's so misterious at the same time

It's shame to hear this story but to be honest, no one around me ever eat this kind of animal in China in my past 33years. I hope we did all effort to prevent its extinction.

Thanks so much BBC. Definitely, people seems don't have any limit about weird food they eat. We really can eat almost all kind of animal alive?
