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.

In the early ’90s I started my own research group called SPS (Strange Phenomena Studies), this was renamed in 2004 to Cryptoworld.
