A new species of African legless skink, genus Acontias Cuvier, 1816 “1817” (Squamata: Scincidae) from Serra da Neve inselberg, south-western Angola

ABSTRACT
During a recent survey of the Serra da Neve inselberg in south-western Angola, a population of legless skinks of the genus Acontias was found. Only three species of this genus have been recorded for the country so far – A. occidentalis, A. kgalagadi and A. jappi. Using an integrative approach and combining molecular and morphological data we found that the Serra da Neve population represents a new species, closely related to species such as A. percivali and some members of the A. occidentalis species complex. In this paper, we describe this population as a new species, Acontias mukwando sp. nov. and provide brief comments on its conservation and biogeography.

MK1 STORY MODE SPOILERS
Man, I feel really bad to Syzoth in the story mode...
Like imagine your clan banished you bc you can shapeshift, then as you went away you become helpless that he might as well die. Then when you thought someone might genuinely help you, they give you an offer you definitely don't want to do so you declined, and they instantly threatened to kill your family (and did), so you agreed, not knowing what he actually did.
To add damage to the wound, in the tower ending you found out that your shapeshifting abilities is not only unique to you, but other Zaterrans who can do that are killed and the killer is still out there, probably coming after you next...
people are really just throwing words they don't know nowadays because why do i see them saying that mk1 reptile is a twink? thats not what a twink looks like???
