  • 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.
