Distribution and Habitat ( الإنجليزية )

المقدمة من AmphibiaWeb articles
Only known from the type locality - Longwangshan Nature Reserve, Anji County, Zhejiang Province, China (30°23.68'N, 119°27.32'E). Anji Salamander only occur in a marshy meadow of the size about 7000 square meters, locating at the top of Mount Longwangshan. The area is surrounded by pine trees and bamboos, as well as other bush trees. The breeding sites are the nine ponds located in the area. Each pond has the size less than 1 square meter and the depth of the water is about 50 cm.

Life History, Abundance, Activity, and Special Behaviors ( الإنجليزية )

المقدمة من AmphibiaWeb articles
The breeding season is from end of November to middle March. Each female deposits 140-174 eggs. It takes three year for the hatchlings to reach sexual maturity. The only time which the adults can be found is during the breeding season. From 1992 to 1998, Gu et al. (1999) surveyed the number of breeding females by counting the number of egg sacs every year after the breeding season in April. On average, the breeding females are around 261 individuals.

Life History, Abundance, Activity, and Special Behaviors ( الإنجليزية )

المقدمة من AmphibiaWeb articles
At present time, the population size is stable. However, because of the natural rarity and restricted distribution, the species is very vulnerable to environmental change. The recent development of eco-tourism may become a vital threat to the survival of this species.

Amji's salamander ( الإنجليزية )

المقدمة من wikipedia EN

Amji's salamander (Hynobius amjiensis) is a species of salamander in the family Hynobiidae. This species is endemic to China, or more specifically to Zhejiang Province; its breeding habitat consists of five small pools at the top of Mount Longwangshan, in Anji County, north-western Zhejiang, at about 1,300 m (4,300 ft) above sea level.[1] Adult males have a total length of 153–166 mm (6.0–6.5 in) and females of about 166 mm (6.5 in).[2]

Although the known breeding habitat is all contained within the small Longwangshan Nature Reserve, habitat alteration is increasingly becoming a problem due to the growing threat of human disturbance at the site, especially from tourist activities. This, in combination with the very small breeding population size, has made IUCN consider H. amjiensis as Endangered.[1]
