New research finds that brown anole lizards in New Orleans carry the highest blood-lead levels ever recorded in a vertebrate--amounts that would be lethal to most other animals--yet they appear unaffected.
The study in Environmental Research found that the lizards' blood lead levels exceeded all previously reported values for fish, amphibians, birds, reptiles, and mammals. "What's astonishing is that these lizards aren't just surviving, they're thriving with lead burden that would be catastrophic for most other animals," says study author Alex Gunderson, assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology in Tulane's School of Science and Engineering.
If this works we should ask the radioactive Chernobyl Wolves to save us from the radioactive shrimp.
