The discovery of a new prehistoric lizard shifts the timeline of when reptiles evolved! The remains were found embedded in a rock in storage since the 1950's at the National History Museum in London.Cryptovaranoides microlanius dates back about 202 million years, placing it firmly in the Triassic period. It is also 35 million years earlier than previously recorded reptilian life!

But despite the lizard's small stature, its sharp teeth would have delivered a menacing bite, which inspired the paleontologists to name it Cryptovaranoides microlanius; the species name means "small butcher," while the genus means "hidden" and "lizardlike," a nod to the decades it spent languishing unnoticed in NHM storage. When C. microlanius was alive, it likely preyed on arthropods and small vertebrates on the limestone-rich islands that once surrounded what is now Bristol, according to the study.

The Manning River turtle has had it's population decimated over time, but recent conservation efforts have been proving successful. In the four years the species has been surveyed, they have only found one potential nest but no evidence of any eggs surviving. However now there is light! 4 hatchlings estimated at a week old have recently been discovered proving the start of species recovery.

"Finding hatchlings for the first time in four years gives us a good indication of habitat, where they are nesting and breeding successfully," he said.

"It means we can target follow-up surveys there and we can learn a bit more about their nesting and early life stage ecology."

Although originally discovered in 1986, the Galapagos Pink Land Iguana (Conolophus marthae) took a few years to properly type as their own species. The aging population is critically endangered with an estimated 200-300 animals left. Now we are seeing the first official nesting sites of this rare Iguana, for the first time since the species was fully identified in 2009.

“The discovery of the first-ever nest and young pink iguanas together with evidence of the critical threats to their survival has also given us the first hope for saving this enigmatic species from extinction.” Paul Salaman, president of Galápagos Conservancy, says in a statement. “Now, our work begins to save the pink iguana.”
