"It is an exceptional #discovery as it is one of the most colorful #species in the #genus #Tylototriton . This is also the first time that a #crocodile #newt species is recorded from the Central Highlands of #Vietnam . Occurring at elevations from 1,800 to 2,300 m above sea level, this discovery sets an elevational record for the genus in the country, with former distribution ranges between 250 m and 1,740 m," says #discoverer and first author of the study Trung My Phung.
