// Hynobius yiwuensis //** Cai **
 * In search of the Newt in Ruiyan Park, instead we found a long and slimy fellow creeping amongst us. We were slightly disappointed that we didn’t find the Newt, but we were also excited about what we saw. From researching more about the park, we stumbled into a piece of information about what could possibly be the slimy fellow. Hynobius Yiwunesis Cai, also known as the “Yiwu Salamander- Level 2 IUCN redlist. Meaning, it’s endangered. We encountered an endangered animal! **


 * The Yiwu Salamander is distributed through out the Zhejiang province in China. We found the Hynobius Yiwunesis by a small stream; research showed that Yiwu Salamanders lay their eggs in water. After, the salamander returns to their natural habitat- into the forest. It comes to be that many of the salamanders can be found in Ruiyan Park. Sadly, the population is decreasing because their habitats are threatened. **
