Lizard pollinates Drakensberg blooms! Shock! Horror!

Just to draw your attention to an interesting story
Is it a bird? Is it a bee? No, it's a lizard pollinating South Africa's 'hidden flower'

 

[Onychorhynchus coronatus]

Interesting story indeed, thanks for sharing !

Not the first lizard to be found to be a pollinator though there are geckos which also pollinate plants in Madagascar I believe.

Cacti-pollinating lizards in Caatinga, Noronha skinks and many others as well. But I believe the text meant mainland Africa only by "African continent".
