Amazonian Caecilian
Numéro d’image : 13359201
| Caecilians are the third group of living amphibians alongside frogs and toads as well as salamanders and newts. They have no limbs and typically live below ground, in rotting logs, or in the deep leaf litter. Slender Caecilians (genus Oscaecilia) occur in lower Central- and Amazonian South America. In the Iquitos region there are two species known: the enormously elongated Oscaecilia koepckeorum and the similar but smaller Oscaecilia bassleri. This specimen of the Pastaza River Slender Caecilian (O. bassleri) was flushed from its underground lair by a night of rainfall. Locals confuse these interesting amphibians with a large species of nightcrawler earthworm that also often appears after rains. This individual was observed in a tract of rainforest off of the Amazon River in Loreto, Peru, 2018. | |
