Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dermophis donaldtrumpi is a name proposed for a putative new species of caecilian – a nearly-blind, serpentine amphibian – to be named after Donald Trump.

Detailed explanation-2: -He considered that some of the specimens formed a new species. In January 2017 he published an article naming it Neopalpa donaldtrumpi for the yellowish-white color of the scales on the head, which reminded him of then President-elect Donald Trump’s hairstyle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Caecilians can range in size from a few inches to 5 feet long, depending on the species, and have extremely poor eyesight – their name translates to “blind ones.” They also have a pair of sensory tentacles located between their eyes and nostrils, structures that are unique to caecilians and may help them find food.
