About the Elongated Caecilian
Ichthyophis elongatus, the elongated caecilian, is a species of amphibians in the family Ichthyophiidae endemic to Sumatra, including some nearby islands; however, whether these belong to this species is uncertain. Specimens allocated to this species with certainty have been collected from lowland forest and from a ravine near degraded forest.
The type series varies 280–300 mm (11–12 in) in total length. It is relatively slim, with body width of 7.8–8 mm (0.31–0.31 in). Wikipedia →
