Named for the long noses found in males of the species, the Pinocchio lizard had eluded researchers for almost four decades. In 2005, researchers found the creatures in a cloud forest in Ecuador. They discovered that the lizards turn pale while they sleep at night and crawl really slowly while they move around during the day. What those long noses are for is still a mystery, however.
