Do Japanese Giant Salamanders have teeth?

Question

I was watching Planet Earth and they showed a Japanese Giant Salamander catching big fish. Does anyone know if they just swallow them or do they have teeth to chew them with? It seems kind of funny to me that amphibians would have teeth.

Answer 3

Giant Japanese salamanders differ from other closely related species in that these particular salamanders lack gill openings and also have unique modifications with their branchial structures

Andrias japonicus retains its larval teeth for life
