Of course it lives in Thailand

Straya only for poisonous critters

The species is named after Inazuma, a character from the Japanese manga 'One Piece,' known for the ability to change sex between male and female.

That’s amazing. It looks fake. Bizarre that it would be split down the middle instead a mixture of the two.

Weirdly enough, it's super common for intersex animals to be split right down the middle like that. There's other types of chimerism like what you described tho, if you want to go down that particular rabbit hole of nerdery.
