The Rise of Hulk Lizards: A Threat to Biodiversity

A new dominant green variant of wall lizards, referred to as 'Hulk' lizards, is outcompeting traditional yellow and orange morphs, raising concerns about biodiversity.

For many years, wall lizards have existed in three distinct color forms, each adapting to their environment in unique ways. However, recent observations indicate a significant shift in this balance.

The green variant, known as 'Hulk' lizards, has emerged as the dominant type, leading to a decline in the populations of the yellow and orange morphs.

This change raises important questions about the long-term impacts on biodiversity and the evolutionary history of these lizards, as millions of years of evolution may be at risk.
