[QUOTE="Wind7, post: 250600, member: 6388"] Mountain creature with rows of extra ‘eyes’ found lurking in rocks. It’s a new species. Stretched out on a mossy rock within the country of Georgia, a multi-colored mountain creature basked in the sunshine. But it wasn’t alone. Researchers ventured into the disputed territory of South Ossetia on expeditions in 2015 and 2017, according to a study published Aug. 29 in the Russian Journal of Herpetology. While searching the area around a mountain lake, the brightly colored reptile, and its companions, caught their attention. The lizards were found lurking among the rocks, the study said. Researchers captured 23 specimens and, after taking a closer look, realized they had discovered a new species: Darevskia arribasi, or Arribas’ rock lizard Arribas’ rock lizards, which can reach about 7.5 inches in size, are “small” compared to other related species, researchers said. Females are larger than males, but males are more colorful. Female Arribas’ rock lizards are brown with black and brown blotches down their back, photos show. Males are vibrant, almost neon green, with black patches on their back. Photos show both have pointed claws that seem to help the animals cling to the rocks.
