Crocias langbianbis, a rare and endemic species of bird of Vietnam has been discovered in the Central Highland province of Kon Tum.
The Crocias langbianbis is a species of bird in the Timaliidae family. It is endemic to Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist mountains. It is threatened by habitat loss.
“This is the first time the Crocias langbianbis species, which is extremely endangered in the whole world, is reported to appear in Kon Tum,” said Mr. Le Trong Trai from the Birdlife International in Vietnam.
Previously, this species of bird was only discovered in the Langbian area of the Ba Mount in Lam Dong province and some areas in Dak Lak province.
The recent discovery shows that the residence of this species has expanded by around 300km to northern Vietnam.
Crocias langbianbis is among the rarest species of birds in the world. Documents about this species are negligible. They were just described by scientists in 1939 and 1994.
