He improved the zoological collections to make them amongst the best in the world. Biography Gray was born in Walsall, but his family soon moved to London, where Gray studied medicine. He assisted his father in writing ''The Natural Arrangement of British Plants'' (1821). After being blackballed by the Linnean Society of London, Gray shifted his interest from botany to zoology.

On 18 July 1995, the previously dormant Soufrière Hills volcano, in the southern part of the island, became active. Eruptions destroyed Montserrat's Georgian era capital city of Plymouth, Montserrat, Plymouth. Between 1995 and 2000, two-thirds of the island's population was forced to flee, primarily to the United Kingdom, leaving fewer than 1,200 people on the island in 1997 (rising to nearly 5,000 by 2016).

Diploglossus Montisserrati
The Montserrat galliwasp or Montiserrat galliwasp (''Diploglossus montisserrati'') is a critically endangered species of lizard in the Diploglossidae family endemic to Montserrat in the Caribbean Lesser Antilles, the only Diploglossid species in the region.

Diploglossus Millepunctatus
The dotted galliwasp or Malpelo galliwasp (''Diploglossus millepunctatus'') is a carnivorous species of lizard endemic to Malpelo Island, Colombia. Description Adults of the species grow to 50 cm in total length and can reach a weight of 500 g. They are predominantly black, but are liberally dotted with white. Diet ''D. millepunctatus'' has extremely odd feeding habits for a lizard. Malpelo Island has few resources; the only available foods are crabs and seabirds, especially boobies. While the lizards eat both of these, they also eat guano, and mob birds returning to their young, forcing them to regurgitate their food for the lizards instead of their chicks. Breeding ''D. millepunctatus'' is viviparous. Habitat The species is endemic to Malpelo Island, a possession of Colombia, where it is common. The island is treeless, rocky, and very small. Similar to the marine iguana, it has the ability to swim for short distances, although this is not related to its feeding habits. It ...

Mario Giacinto Peracca
Mario Giacinto Peracca (21 November 1861, Turin – 23 May 1923, Turin) was an Italian herpetologist. He discovered zoology through his father, an amateur ornithologist. He started taking medical classes at the University of Turin, with his studies eventually turning to zoology. In 1886, he obtained his degree from the university under the direction of Michele Lessona (1823-1894). After graduation, he remained in Turin as an assistant to Lessona, and later Lorenzo Camerano (1856-1917), at the zoological institute. Here he worked until his retirement in 1920. At the zoological institute, he served as curator of herpetological collections. Among the specimens at the museum were reptiles and amphibians that were produced at his estate, where he kept a large temperature-controlled vivarium with tropical plants, containing animals that included giant salamanders and Galapagos tortoises. Many of his written works dealt with herpetological collections from South America and Africa ( ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
