The research team of the Kunming Institute of Animals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered new species of lizards in the Magang county of Yunnan province, named Dragon Liguana. Research results have recently been published in the International Journal of Animal Classifications, Zootaxa.
The co-author and assistant researcher of the Kunming Institute of Animals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wang Zheng, described the presence of the Liguana under the crawling platform, which is mainly located in South-East Asia, and the country ' s record of four, mainly in south-west China and south-west China. He said that the difference was between recorded seed, the newly discovered elliptical iguanas were larger, the head was smooth and the back was elastic, and the male body was yellow.
The figure is a living picture of the specimens of the dragon iguana model, A and B for males and C and D for females. The research team (from the Kunming Institute of Animals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences) concluded that the low-altitude tropical rainforests with the Caste landscape, where the flat shape of the iguanas were found, helped them to hide in narrow quarries.
The discovery of a new species of lguana reveals the significance of the tropics and subtropical regions of the Caste landscape for biodiversity conservation.
