First reported to science in 1893, the Texas Banded Gecko (Coleonyx brevis) is the smallest of the six gecko species that call the Lower 48 home. Indeed, it is the smallest of all the North American geckos. A fully grown adult weighs barely two grams and is only four or five inches long. Females are generally a bit larger than males, but both sexes have delicate, slender bodies equipped with tails that ACCOUNT for about half of their total length.

Asiatic Cheetah's are extinct in India, very few roam in Iran.

Argentine scientists clone endangered Asiatic Cheetahs for first time ...

BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- Scientists from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) have successfully cloned an Asiatic Cheetah, a species in danger of extinction, local media announced Saturday.

In an unprecedented feat in the efforts to protect the fastest cat, researchers from the UBA's Faculty of Agriculture "for the first time in the world managed to attain an embryo for cloning," local daily Clarin said in a report.

"At the beginning of the last decade, there were scientists in India who had a plan to clone Asiatic Cheetahs. However, the objective was not achieved. Now, the clone -- at least in its embryo state -- was attained by a group led by veterinary Daniel Salamone," added the newspaper.

"It is important to check the viability of the zoo's cell bank and we could have descendants of cheetahs in the future. There is also the possibility that cloning could be useful in curing cheetahs from illnesses caused by stem cell derivation," concluded the expert.

Animal Facts

Though they are not chameleons, green anoles (ah-NO-lees) have the ability to change color. Naturally bright green, they can also turn yellow, brown, gray, or a color in-between. These lizards make no sounds and are generally 13-20 cm (5-8 in) long. They live in trees but also forage on the ground. The males are a little larger than the females. Also, males have a pink flap of skin hanging in an arc below their necks called a “dewlap” which they show off to attract females or scare away other males. They will also do push-ups and bob their heads in display.
