Rare frog species found in central Vietnam
Published: 18/06/2011 05:00
A wildlife organization Wednesday announced that it has found a rare species of frog in its latest biodiversity survey in the central province of Quang Ngai. Â Theloderma stellatum, also known as Taylor’s Bug-eyed Frog, is named in the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species, according to the Wildlife At Risk (WAR), a non-profit organization based in Ho Chi Minh City. Â The species is native to Vietnam, Thailand, and possibly Cambodia. It is threatened by the loss of its habitats, which include subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. Â During the two-week trip in Ba To District, WAR also discovered Leptobrachium xanthospilum – another red-listed species of frog, and several other rare species like the gibbon Normascussp, and pig-tailed macaque (Macaca leonine). Â Nearly 60 species of amphibian, 32 species of mammal including 15 species of bat, and 52 species of dragonflies have been recorded in the district, WAR said. Â Reported by M. Vong |
