This Goniurosaurus species
was discovered in Guoshanyao Village, Yingde in the
Guandgong province in China in 2009. It was
first described in 2010 and the scientific investigation
showed that one had found a new species. It
received the name 'Goniurosaurus yingdeensis' according
to its place of origin. It probaby belongs to the
Luii group due to its size, which is about 20 cm, and
its slim body shape. The newly hatched animals are black/brown
with thin white lines, which they will keep all their
lifetime in contrast to other species belonging to
the Luii group. The tail has many noticeable white
rings, which is another feature of this particular
species. |
