A thread about some of the fascinating #herps I have come across during my field work and some cool herps I want to see. #IndianHerps
India is super diverse in terms of biodiversity! We have about 600 sp. of reptiles & 400 sp. of amphibians 50% of both which are endemic! Most of these haven't been studied in detail but much advances have been made in the fields of taxonomy & ecology.
I have been fortunate to have worked in the plains of north India, arid regions of Gujarat, southern Western Ghats in Kerala and northern Western Ghats in Maharashtra. Western Ghats are one of the hottest biodiversity hotspots of the world.
