Species Discovery Continues! : Iguana Rosada

The Galapagos Islands continue to amaze and astound. In 1835, when naturalist and all-around -FUPPETS- hero, Charles Darwin, visited the Galapagos islands, he did not get to travel to all of the many tiny islands in the volcanic chain. He missed a very interesting reptile.
In 1986 these Iguanas were spotted by Park Rangers, who ignored them, thinking their stripes were just stains.

In a study published this week in the Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences, scientists from Italy and Ecuador say blood and genetic tests on 36 pink iguanas found in an area Darwin never explored documented a new species, the IGUANA ROSADA.
