[Herpetology • 2015] Herpetofauna of Gunung Tebu • First Report on the Amphibians and Reptiles of A Remote Mountain, Gunung Tebu in northeastern Peninsular Malaysia




ABSTRACT 
This is the first herpetological survey and checklist of the Mount Tebu (Gunung Tebu) region including the upland areas of Gunung Tebu, the surrounding lowlands of Hutan Lipur Lata Belatan, and the nearby lowland region of Hutan Lipur Lata Tembaka in Terrengganu, northeastern Peninsular Malaysia. Expanding upon the only previous herpetological survey in this region from Gunung Lawit (Dring 1979), we record a total of 106 species including 43 species previously unknown from this portion of Peninsular Malaysia.
