"The new found lizard is Leiolepis ngovantrii - an all-female species that reproduces via cloning, without the need for male lizards."
"The new-found reptile also had rows of enlarged scales on its arms as well as lamellae (bone layers) under its toes that set it apart from other species."
"The lizard’s home, the Binh Chau-Phuoc Buu Nature Reserve in Vietnam, sits between scrub woodland and coastal sand dunes."
From the WWF Greater Mekong Report, 2010, "Wild Mekong"
