New gecko and skunk species

Postby chris » Sat May 08, 2021 9:48 am

There is an article in stuff regarding the discovery of no less than five newly discovered species of mountain lizards in new locations previously surveyed for these animals. Yet to be confirmed.
Still much to be discovered in nature but this article makes me think if they are as vulnerable as our birds were to habitat loss and feral predators. How many have been lost. We will never know but the number must be frighteningly high. Surely.
