About Me
- Scriptor Senex
- I'm a blogger - nowadays that seems to be my main occupation and Rambles from My Chair is my main blog. Retired local government executive - now studying how to survive a neurological disorder that gives me various problems but, hopefully, a whole new outlook on life and an increased sense of humour and perspective. I enjoy all manner of communication apart from the telephone and am constantly e-mailing, texting, writing postcards and commenting on other people's blogs. Scriptor Senex is Latin for Old Writer and my real name is John but I've almost forgotten that nowadays... “He’s not so old. He’s just the age that he is, that’s all.” (Gerald Hammond)
The Galapagos Pink Iguana is now considered to be part of this Laboratory of Evolution known as the Galapagos Islands.
ReplyDeleteThe new Galapagos pink iguana baptized as Conolophus Rosada and it can be distinguished from the other two species by the light pink color and black stripes on its back.
It can reach more than a meter long (over 3 feet) and weights up to 12 kilograms (24 pounds).
