Kodagu striped Ichthyophis

A stripy amphibian native to the Ghats of India

G. Bhatta

To this day, this species has only been documented in the Indian plantation fields of coffee and areca nut production. Their bodies are segmented outside and separated into around 300 “annuli,” which are externally visible divisions.

They may dig their tunnels with their heads because the head is slightly wider than the body. This caecilian species is considered to have insufficient data by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
