Still Waters Posted October 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2012 A new species of lizard has been discovered fighting to survive among the sand dunes outside Perth in Western Australia, scientists said. They fear it is only a matter of time before the two-inch long Ctenotus ora, or the coastal plains skink, will be extinct with urban sprawl rapidly closing in. http://www.telegraph...sand-dunes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemonix Posted October 29, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 29, 2012 It's pretty, but unfortunate that it could go extinct soon I'm sad that the Tasmanian Tiger went extinct as well, I never had the chance to see one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted October 29, 2012 #3 Share Posted October 29, 2012 There are so many things on the verge of extinction. I don't know how we will save most since the big problem is too many people. Unless we have some sort of plague or natural disaster I don't see the human population going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidin Posted October 30, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 30, 2012 So many amazing things newly and undiscovered in Nature. I just hope we don't destroy Nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava_Lady Posted October 30, 2012 #6 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I always love these articles about new species found. They make me feel hopeful... Until they end with, urban. Scrawl may render them extinct. sigh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKO Posted October 31, 2012 #7 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Must be hard to tell if it's a new species or not, it looks like any other skink around here. It's funny that they can find a new lizard species that is just 6cm long but Bigfoot hunters can't find any evidence close to a bigfoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohands Posted November 2, 2012 #8 Share Posted November 2, 2012 wow... but what help does it give having a new species found? the looks maybe new but i thinks a skill are more needed to be new...like having a tounge long enough to kill a camel in the desert..

Hasina Posted November 2, 2012 #9 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I know it's not going to help, but I'm not having any offspring I tried to be more proactive about population control, the judge just called it 'murder'. -ba-dum-tsh- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
