Scientists have identified a new bright blue lizard hiding in plain sight.
The lizard, found in Vietnam and named Calotes bachae, had long been thought to be another blue lizard species found in Myanmar and Thailand. A combination of genetic analysis and studying the size and scale characteristics of the animals revealed that the lizard belongs to a new species, according to an article in the January issue of the journal Zootaxa.
During mating season, the colors of the male lizards—which can measure up to 11 inches (28 centimeters)—become especially vivid, ranging from cobalt blue to bright turquoise. This serves to attract females and to intimidate other males, said Hartmann.
The newly identified animal was found in open areas of Cat Tien National Park, in dense tropical forests in Bu Gia Map National Park and, perhaps surprisingly, in parks in downtown Ho Chi Minh City.

又過一年…..
唔知你而架系邊，做近D咩，學D咩，唔知你記唔記得我….. 但我一直道冇忘記你，我對你講過D咩我而言記得。
又想起你，我地以經好久不見了，那天的情景我會銘記於心….
當你從我生命里離開的一刻，我對自己講我可以放開你…. 但我做唔到… 你的影子已經成為我生命的一部分我每時每刻倒想起你的燦爛的笑容，你溫暖的擁抱，你頭髮發出的香味，你甜美的聲音。 我很想念你但我知你要的不是我….
