From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
China is home to 346 species of amphibian.[1] China's amphibian diversity is greater than any other country in the Old World, and it is the 5th in the whole world. China's amphibian fauna includes an important element of widespread, generally non-threatened species though 27.3% of amphibian species are extinct or threatened and because conservation assessments of Chinese amphibians have only started recently, it is likely that the current data on threats to amphibians are insufficient.[2] Several amphibian species in China have very limited geographical distributions.[3]
China is home to one of only 144 known modern amphibians which can tolerate brief excursions into sea water.
