Don't always follow, the best solution or decision is not necessary what everyone before you has done. Think differently, be different, act different. Biodiversity needs different.

Meet the Pinocchio anole. Thought extinct until a sighting in 2005, it inhabits parts of Ecuador. Growing ~3.3 in (8.4 cm) long, only males of this species sport long proboscises. Scientists think these fleshy appendages help them to attract mates.
A close-up photo of a Pinocchio anole on a branch. The reptile is small in size and pale green in color, with a marbled pattern of brown and darker greens. It has a massive, upward-curving proboscis.
