Mother Earth never ceases to surprise us. Despite all the reports of mass extinction occurring throughout the planet, scientists are still discovering new life.
A dragon-sized lizard found in the Philippines has been confirmed today as a new species. Living in the trees, "the forest monitor lizard" can get as big as six feet in length and weigh as much as 22 pounds. So far, it appears that the only real predator is humans (no surprise here) who hunts the lizard for meat.
The insect feeding lizard was first discovered in 2001 but has just been categorized as a new specie of lizard.
