  • A Precious Egg Sac of Wushan Salamanders

    In March and April every year, the ice and snow have melted in the Dalongtan area of Shennongjia. After suddenly getting warmer, the weather has turned cold again. The Wushan salamanders (Liua shihi) are hidden deep among the stones. Driven by sexual impulse, they will go to extraordinary lengths to attract members of the opposite sex with their blood boiling, so that they can mate and reproduce. Their privacy is rarely invaded, and their tracks are always hard to detect. However, they will lay their eggs in a place that sunlight can reach under the water. Therefore, this season is also the right time to search for salamanders’ eggs and conduct research on their reproduction.

  • The Great Chunmei Dedicated to the Park

    Despite her profound research, Luo Chunmei still believes her study is quite superficial and all her achievements should be credited to the whole team of the Institute. She hopes that the butterflies in the area can be further popularized to achieve the research value and the science popularization value. From every aspect, Luo Chunmei and her deep attachment to butterflies deserve to write home about. Besides, her research means a lot to both the scientific work of the Institute and the study and preservation of the resources of butterflies in China.
