Thanks Mian!

Incredible find. This animal's yellow coloration is really surprising

For further information on H. chinensis (which may or may not comprise more than one species), see the detailed AmphiaWeb entry and a link to some photos at:

http://amphibiaweb.org/cgi-bin/amphib_query?query_src=aw_search_index&table=amphib&special=one_record&where-genus=Hynobius&where-species=chinensis

(I'm told the photos are of the type found in Zhejiang Province)
