New Species of Day Gecko Discovered Along the Brahmaputra — Cnemaspis brahmaputra
A remarkable scientific discovery has emerged from the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra River — a new species of day gecko, named Cnemaspis brahmaputra, has been identified and documented. This name is a tribute to the lifeline of Northeast India, symbolizing the river’s enduring role in nurturing the region’s biodiversity, culture, and identity.
Published in the prestigious journal Taprobanica, this discovery marks only the second recorded species of the genus Cnemaspis from Northeast India. The finding sheds light on the rich but still largely unexplored herpetofaunal diversity of the region.
The Brahmaputra, long celebrated for its cultural and ecological significance, once again stands at the center of a momentous achievement in biodiversity research. This discovery not only enriches our scientific knowledge but also reinforces the importance of conservation in such ecologically sensitive zones.
Heartfelt commendations to the entire research team for this significant contribution to science and regional pride.
