The Taiwan salamander, Hynobius formosanus, is a species of salamander in the Hynobiidae family, endemic to Taiwan, where it occurs in the high mountains at around 2,100 m (6,900 ft). Its natural habitats are from open alpine habitats to shaded moist evergreen forests.[2] Adults have a total length of 58–98 mm (2.3–3.9 in).[3]
H. sonani has very fragmented distribution and is threatened by habitat loss, mainly caused by the development of infrastructure for tourism.[1]
