I Stand Corrected - And Chagrined

I am afraid that Phillips' Yellow-Headed Lizard is no more.

No, I do not mean the species is instinct within days of being discovered. If only that were the case. No, what I mean is that somebody beat me to the punch and named it already. I do not, as of yet, know who the dastardly glory hog is, but I have it on good authority (the biology teacher here at the orphanage, actually) that the species has been known for some time. In fact, he offered to take me to the university the next time he goes so I can do some research in the university library.

I may just take him up on his generous offer. Or I may stay here on the orphanage grounds, looking for a new species to discover.
