New “Bumble Bee Gecko” Discovered in Papua New Guinea

by USGS staff

Biologists from the Papua New Guinea National Museum and the U.S. Geological Survey have discovered a new species of gecko, adorned like a bumblebee with black-and-gold bands and rows of skin nodules that enhance its camouflage on the tropical forest floor.

Specimens of the lizard, which measures about 5 inches from head to tail, were collected in May 2010 in Sohoniliu Village on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea. Herpetologists George Zug of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and Rober Fisher  of the USGS Western Ecological Research Center described the new species in a report published in “Zootaxa” this month.

“We’ve officially named it Nactus kunan for its striking color pattern — kunan means ‘bumblebee’ in the local Nali language,” Fisher says. “It belongs to a genus of slender-toed geckos, which means these guys don’t have the padded, wall-climbing toes like the common house gecko…”

Fisher found two individuals of the bumblebee gecko on Manus Island in 2010 and analyzed their genetics to show that the lizards were new and distinctive. Two additional species were found that trip, and the specimens await further analysis…

fyeahuniverse: Pterios volitans - Red Lionfish As pretty as those spines are, they’re posionous, which helps them is being a rather invasive species. They outcompete snapper and grouper and take over the niche when the species invades, making them widespread. True lionfish predators are hard to come buy, while those who could potentially feed on it; don’t; for example sharks. Image by Florent Charpin Zoom

Axolotl | Ambystoma mexicanum

This is one animal! We had a few of these guys in my class in primary school. They had kids and I’m pretty sure they ate each other..

fyeahuniverse: South Georgia richer in biodiversity than Galapagos This more than impressive island has over 90% of the fur sea population, half of the world’s elephant seals, and sperm whales, blue whales, killer whales, and penguins are regular visitors. Over 1,500 recorded species have been found on South Georgia, most of which cannot be found anywhere else in the world. (image credit; Laurent Demongin) Zoom
