It’s Tylototriton gaowangjienensis, a crocodile newt from China described in Herpetozoa!

While its all-black colouration has drawn comparisons to Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon, this alluring amphibian hides flashes of orange beneath its tail and toes!

Große Augen, raue Haut und eine stumpfe Schnauze: Forscher haben in einem Naturschutzgebiet in Zentralchina eine Salamanderart entdeckt. Wie sie in einer neu erschienenen Studie im Wissenschaftsjournal "Herpetozoa" schrieben, haben sie die Kreatur Gaowangjie-Krokodilmolch getauft.

The study, which was published in the journal Herpetozoa, used a variety of data sources, including historic records, recent surveys, and citizen science data, to map the distribution of grass snakes in Great Britain.
