The Roque Chico de Salmor Giant Lizard was a lizard subspecies endemic to a small islet on the Canary Islands. Initially, the only threat to this Giant Lizard was feral cat predation, but human intervention in the beginning of 20th century gave a serious jolt to the Lizard population in this area. Commercial exploitation owing to the large-scale collection of the species for scientific usage, led to depletion of the Roque Chico de Salmor Giant Lizard population to a great extent. After several attempts to revive the population failed, the species finally disappeared in late 1930s.

Cold day out in the plains between Deer Trail and Kiowa.
Even got some snow.
But found 31 caches and enjoyed the hunt.
All CO's thanks for hiding and making the game possible.
This log sheet is soaked!

It is a sad story. Humans have a bad track record of killing things off.
No issues with hide. Signed the new log and carried on. TFTC!
