SAN MARCOS, Peru, Dec. 18 (UPI) -- Scientists in Peru say they've found three new species of lizard "hiding" in plain sight, not identified before because of their similarity to known species.
Researchers at the country's University of San Marcos, working with U.S. colleagues from Brigham Young University, said despite the longtime confusion with other species, the three new species have been tagged using molecular, ecological and more detailed morphological analyses.
