- This isn\t a lizard.""It\s obviously a Rhynchocephalia
- Scientists call these creatures “living fossils.”""A nearly fossilized film provides the proof
- How does this reptile\s mom know what he\s up to, even when she doesn\t appear to be looking at him?""She\s got a third eye. Seriously. It\s kind of creepy
- Although this critter and its ilk are no longer living on the mainland...""They thrive on a northern brother\s island
