Rare Pink Iguana Evaded Darwin
"Although 1986 was the year of the first sighting, our work discloses to the world the existence of this new species for the first time."

Galapagos National Park, Ecuador - When English naturalist Charles Darwin explored the Galapagos Islands in the early 1800s, he, and countless scientists since, overlooked a hefty pink iguana.
The iguana, referred to as "rosada," meaning "pink" in Spanish, has black stripes and is believed to be extremely rare.
