Anderson's Crocodile Newt
Anderson's crocodile newt, Anderson's newt, Ryukyu spiny newt, or Japanese warty newt (''Echinotriton andersoni'') is a species of salamander in the family Salamandridae found in the Ryukyu Islands of Japan, and, at least formerly, Mount Guanyin (New Taipei), Mount Guanyin in northern Taiwan, where it is now believed to be extinct. Description ''Echinotriton andersoni'' is a stout, flat salamander. Head is broad and triangular in shape. There are 12–15 conspicuous knob-like lateral glands. Colouration is uniformly dark brown or black, only the underside of the tail, cloacal region, and the soles of the feet are yellow-orange. The maximum size is at least in snout–vent length and in total length. Habitat and conservation Its natural habitats are broad-leaved evergreen forests, secondary forests, grasslands and swamps. It has also been found in and near sugar cane fields. It breeds in standing water such as ponds and temporary pools; outside breeding season it is difficult to ...

Himalayan Newt
''Tylototriton verrucosus'' is a species of newt found in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Common names include: Himalayan newt, crocodile newt, crocodile salamander, Himalayan salamander, red knobby newt. Description This newt can reach a length of 20 cm. The tongue is small and is free on the sides and only slightly towards its base. The teeth on the palate are in two oblique rows that meet at the front of the mouth. The skull has a thick, bony fronto-squamosal arch, a feature of all salamanders. They have five toes and the tail is flattened to aid swimming. The head is wide and the snout is short and the head has three prominent bony ridges with pores, one along the center and two along the back of the sides of the heads (the parietal ridge). There are no lobes on the lips. The body is 3 to 3.5 times as long as the head. There is no crest running along the dorsal midrib as in some newts but there is a prominent vertebral ridge with a series of knobs formed f ...

Red-tailed Knobby Newt
The red-tailed knobby newt or Kweichow (crocodile) newt (''Tylototriton kweichowensis'') is a species of salamander in the family Salamandridae. It is found in western Guizhou ("Kweichow" being an old spelling of Guizhou) and north-eastern Yunnan, China. It is most closely related to emperor newt (''Tylototriton shanjing'') and Himalayan newt ''Tylototriton verrucosus'' is a species of newt found in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Common names include: Himalayan newt, crocodile newt, crocodile salamander, Himalayan salamander, red knobby newt. Description This newt can ... (''T. verrucosus''). Description The red-tailed knobby newt is a relatively large, robust newt. Their total length is , females being larger than males. They live in small ponds, slowly flowing streams and surrounding shady and moist grassy slopes with many hiding places. Outside the reproductive season, they are rather terrestrial. The reproductive season is from early May to early July, c ...

Vietnamese Crocodile Newt
''Tylototriton vietnamensis'', the Vietnamese crocodile newt or Vietnamese knobby newt, is a species of newt in the family Salamandridae Salamandridae is a family of salamanders consisting of true salamanders and newts. Salamandrids are distinguished from other salamanders by the lack of rib or costal grooves along the sides of their bodies and by their rough skin. Their skin is v .... It is known from four localities in northern Vietnam where it occurs in and near ponds within dense bamboo vegetation. It is quite likely that it also will be found in adjacent areas of China and possibly Laos. It is possible that specimens earlier identified as '' T. asperrimus'' are in fact ''T. vietnamensis''. However, based on molecular genetic data, its closest relative is '' T. hainanensis''. ''Tylototriton vietnamensis'' is a small newt, with total length . The main threat to this species is habitat degradation. External links Vietnamesischer Krokodilsmolch (Vietnamese crocodile newt) ...

Ziegler's Crocodile Newt
''Tylototriton ziegleri'', also known as Ziegler's crocodile newt or Ziegler's knobby newt, is a species of newt in the family Salamandridae. It is currently known from Hà Giang and Cao Bằng provinces in northern Vietnam, although its actual range probably wider; there is a photograph to suggest it also occurs in Lào Cai Province in Vietnam, and its range likely extends to Yunnan in southern China. Based on molecular genetic data, ''Tylototriton ziegleri'' belongs to the "'' Tylototriton asperrimus'' group" of newts. The specific name ''ziegleri'' honours , a German herpetologist. Description The single known female is in snout–vent length (SVL); males are SVL. The head is wider than it is long and hexagonal in shape. The head has prominent dorsolateral bony ridges and a prominent but short middorsal ridge. The snout is short and truncate. The body is moderately stout and has prominent, segmented vertebral ridge as well as rows of distinct rib nodules, forming knob- ...
