That is so neat to find another animal that has been overlooked for so long. I wonder what else we have not seen or discovered?

I once saw 27 iguanas at once in the wild and I was so intrigued by their body shape and colors. This discovery is great!

It's hard to understand why this pink fellow went "undiscovered" in an area that a lot of research took place in for so long.

It's so amazing that they are still discovering new species, especially in a very small area where a ton of research has been done for a long time! Estimates are that we only know about like 10% of species in the world or something like that but I think that's mostly plants and insects.
