fauna
Research on the herpetofauna of East Timor has identified several species at Meleotegi. The reptiles discovered include two possibly new species of rainbow skinks (Carlia) , one of the smooth night skinks (Eremiascincus "Ermera") and two of the forest skinks (Sphenomorphus) . The Timor kite (Draco timoriensis) , the Eremiascincus timorensis , the multi-striped skink (Eutropis multifasciata) and the Bakhita snake- eye skink (Cryptoblepharus Bakhita) were also identified . Surprisingly, geckos and snakes are absent from this habitat.
Well-known local amphibians include the black- scarred toad (Bufo melanostictus) , the Timor frog ( Limnonectes timorensis), and the Everett tree frog (Litoria everetti) . A species of the genus of the rice frogs (Fejervarya) , which may not yet have been described , was also found here in 2012.
