Curiosity · Valle Gran Rey, La Gomera, Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Gallotia bravoana, a large endemic lizard believed extinct, was rediscovered in July 1999 on the cliffs of La Mérica thanks to information from a resident of Valle Gran Rey. A small wild population survives today alongside a captive-breeding programme.
