these exist nowhere else on Earth so
that's the bleached earless lizard we
were told we wouldn't be able to see one
because they're so well camouflaged and
it's because road runners the birds eat
these earless lizards outside of this
park they're brown or black within it
over 10 000 years due to mutations that
would be more advantageous when they
were lighter sort of proliferating over
that period of time they have now
bleached this white color it's an
amazing example of Rapid Evolution
that's super rare to see in nature I'm
like star struck by a lizard right now
it's so freaking cool and it's so cute
take it home no this was just one of the
many things we saw at the White Sands
National park when we were sent there
for YouTube's non-fungible Planet
campaign to make a video for Earth Day
you can watch it all on our Channel now
