in any way statement two is incorrect, mostly associated with western ghats only

Siddharth Jena

Its present in eastern ghats also, but in a very remote area South of Nilgiris, near keral, TN border, But yes we can rule out their majority presence, as eastern ghat presence is only seasonal.

Actually it is endemic to both western and eastern ghats.
