Researchers have found a mysterious types of reptiles in Northern Kenya. The species was not known to science until this year, when the species portrayal paper was delivered in February, by a group of Herpetologists - zoologists who study reptiles and creatures of land and water - Patrick Malonza, Stephen Spwal, Brian Finch and Aaron Bauer. 

The recently depicted Marsabit Rock Agama was named Agama Wachirai for Kenyan ornithologist Washington Wachira, who noticed and shot it at Bubisa, North of Marsabit. 

The revelation of the uncommon reptile started in May 2019, when Wachira, in the organization of Brian Finch in their birding mission looking for songbirds in a rough desert territory north of Marsabit Town in northern Kenya, noticed the reptile with unmistakable spots on the back. 

The new species was found occupying dim desert igneous rock. Wachira sent the photographs to two of the writers (PKM and SS), who autonomously affirmed that the species was not referable to the definitely known Agama lionotus. 

"A push to acquire voucher examples was thusly coordinated and the new species was portrayed," the examination paper named another of types of the Agama lionotus Boulenger, 1896 complex (Squamata: Agamidae) from Northern Kenya unveiled. 

The researchers noticed that the uncommon species ought to moreover be available in reasonably comparative locales in the northern wilderness zone. 

"This is a diurnal (dynamic essentially in the daytime) species that involve hole and gives in, if present, in stone outcrops. In Bubisa-Marsabit they may happen in little provinces. It is very spry and when upset runs quickly into the stone cleft," the paper noted. 

The new species is recognized from different reptiles by its a lot more modest grown-up size, a lower number of ventral scales, and less scale columns around the midbody. 

Females are light to dull earthy colored with somewhat hazier spots unmistakably obvious and on close review, the crown of the head has pale blue green spots. 

During the day matrimonial hue of the male head and neck is dull with just hints of orange and the body has just hints of purplish-blue on the shoulders, albeit a few people may display a lot more splendid diurnal designing. 

"Around evening time the hostage male paratypes kept in fabric packs changed to show unmistakable orange heads, a somewhat blue body, and exchanging blue and white annulated tails," the report uncovered. 

The throat is ruddy or orange-red like the highest point of the head, while the rest of the ventral surfaces, including that of the appendages, is somewhat blue and the tail venter is whitish. 

The female during the day was tanish with dim ordinary markings however turned light earthy colored around evening time, with the body dim spots all the more obviously noticeable The females generally have customary matched dark imprints along the vertebrae which are missing or sporadic in Agama lionotus.
