Today I learned..

Today I learned that there is a species of lizard that is native to only New Zealand called the tuatara. This lizard is the topic of many New Zealand scientists study because it has a "third eye". The exact purpose of the eye is unknown, but is speculated to be used as some sort of sensory receptor to establish a seasonal calendar. I even have a picture for you.
