reports on: "five male and five female Italian wall lizards, Podarcis
sicula, were translocated from the islet of Pod Kopiste to the nearby
islet of Pod Mrcaru, both of which belong to Croatia and are located
in the southern Adriatic Sea"

War erupted and scientists never got back to see the lizards until
relatively recently.  What they found was an amazing example of just
how fast evolution can work its wiley ways.

Footnote to idiot creationists: Yeah, they're still lizards, and no,
no scientist has ever claimed they're not.  But what you're too stupid
to grasp no matter how many times you're hit over your stupid heads
with it, evolution isn't just about speciation (which leads to
everything else) and nothing more.  Evolution is about change within a
gene pool.  That's what it's rooted in and that's how it works its
magic.

It really is that simple.  And if you cannot grasp this basic,
demonstrated fact, then you too are really simple.
