One of the best moments in my career. The rediscovery of the Victorian Earless Dragon. In 2019 I undertook the taxonomic research to show this little lizard was a unique species, different to those in the ACT & NSW. So, so pleased it is not extinct! @museumsvictoria
Wonderful article about my book out today! theconversation.com/jane-war…
CAN YOU FIND THE DRAGON IN THIS PHOTO? It was great talking with Michael Dahlstrom, Yahoo News, about our recent paper on the Hidden Dragon from remote north-western Australia. PHOTOS: @svmahony

The rediscovery of this rare hidden dragon hiding on an Outback roadside has helped solve a decades-long mystery.

Thank you @MVLizards for having me at @melbournemuseum and @UniMelb - working with you all was an absolute pleasure. 85 high-resolution µCT scans of Egernia group skinks in only four days!😊
Look what I saw at my favourite Melbourne bookshop @ReadingsBooks They have very excellent books. Definitely would have bought it if I didn't already have a copy! @JLosos

Good luck! I have my fingers and toes crossed!
Not seen since the mid 90s and only known from 3 specimens, the quest to rediscover one of Australia’s most imperilled reptiles has begun!
