A scaly Welsh sauropsid

A possible tuatara living in the British Isles 

   The British Isles are usually plagued with reports of mysterious events, some becoming famous such as dire wolves or mysterious felines, but others are forgotten, such as the following case of a strange lizard in this area, come with me to learn about this.

The mysterious Genaprugwirion Wales 

   It is a strange reptile, which is said to live or inhabit North Wales, especially in Aber Sôch, Lleyn Peninsula, in the Gwynedd region.

This one has a length of 30.8 centimeters, muddy brown, with a head the size of an orange, a pronounced dewlap and a long tongue, this being also described as a presumably solitary animal, also because it has the habit of rolling its eyes continuously, being a burrowing animal, sticking its head out to catch flies or insects.

The first mention of the creature and where it became known was in a now-lost article by the the herpetological bulletin in 1987, but it seems that the natives have known about this creature from before, ensuring that in the past they were quite abundant but that, nevertheless, They now lie almost extinct, yet there have been several sightings.

Evidencias y explicación 

  In addition to the article, there is even more solid evidence, a photographic record, which is the only thing that survives of said article, here we have it, Remember, we are impartial, so everything is at your discretion.

But what is this animal? Some think it is an iguana, but due to its characteristics it would be strange if it lived in Wales, We can see that it is similar to tuataras, and in fact, it could be one since it was common to have them as exotic pets in the 19th century, It is possible that this was a naturalized population of these animals, but until one is captured, this mystery may not be solved.

Let us remember that the habitat of the tuatara is not far from the conditions that Wales enjoys, so if it were a population of these feral animals, they possibly lived comfortably until their eventual death.
