Destination Ecuador is now offering a special tour to go with one of the few people to ever see the lizard and find and photograph the incredible and rare animal: A full gallery of the discovery is available here. Biodiversity in the cloud forests of South America are renowned for producing a seemingly constant parade of beautiful, bizarre creatures. One such tropical oddity is the Pinocchio Lizard, Anolis proboscis, which was once presumed extinct and recently spotted by a team of biologists in Ecuador for only the third time in 15 years. After three years of searching for this oddity, a group of photographers and researchers from Tropical , Paolo Escobar, Lucas Bustamante, Diana Troya and Alejandro Arteaga were finally able to document and photograph this lizard in January of this year.
