Amazing little dragon-like creatures discovered in the Andean cloud forests of Ecuador and Peru
They look like tiny dragons. That makes them really attractive for some people.
Researchers have discovered three new species of woodlizards — relatively large lizards resembling mini-dragons — living in the Andean cloud-forests of Peru and Ecuador.
The three new species — Enyalioides altotambo, Enyalioides anisolepis and Enyalioides sophiarothschildae — brings the total number of known woodlizards to 15. That’s quite a leap from less than 10 years ago, when study co-author Omar Torres-Carvajal was completing his post-doctoral work. At that time, there were just seven such woodlizards known to science.
