New frog species identified in Da Nang
A new species of frog has been determined in Da Nang by Vietnamese and foreign scientists, after it first was noted five years ago. The frog, endemic to the scenic Son Tra Peninsula, is Rowley’s litter frog, or in technical terms, Leptolalax rowleyae, which means the amphibian with the specific name of rowleyae, from the Leptolalax genus. Adult frogs of this species are less than three centimeters long, with the male shorter than the female. The colors of their chest range from pinkish milk white to light brown, and the belly shows many white speckles.

The new species bears a strong morphological resemblance to other amphibian species, but the acoustic and genetic research carried out by international scientists reveals a five percent difference in these respects, according to Dr. Phan Thi Hoa from the … [Read more...] about New frog species identified in Da Nang

Da Nang’s My Khe beach suffers severe coastal erosion
Severe coastal erosion and land subsidence are posing an immediate threat to the world-famous My Khe beach in the resort city of Da Nang in central Vietnam, with experts blaming overexploitation of groundwater along the coast. Areas along the ten-kilometer My Khe beach have become badly eroded, with the sea encroaching on what was once a broad, sandy beach by up to 15 meters, damaging construction and buildings that sit close to the water’s edge. Just five kilometers from the center of Da Nang, My Khe was voted among the six most beautiful beaches on the planet by American business magazine Forbes in 2013, thanks to its azure skies, smooth white sands, elegant slopes, as well as year-round warm water and gentle waves. These natural assets may soon be a thing of the past as erosion and sea encroachment continue to take their toll on what is a tropical paradise. “Our restaurant used to look onto a wide, sandy beach that stretched a dozen meters or more from the … [Read more...] about Da Nang’s My Khe beach suffers severe coastal erosion
