The Umbuku Lizard: his creature is the only one on the list which was not designed for a
practical reason, but merely to prove that it could be done. Genetic
Engineers in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) managed to unlock a dormant
“flying” strand in the DNA of the Umbuku lizard, a very small and rare
lizard native to Africa. It is believed that the lizard is a descendent
of the Pterodactyl, which lost its ability to fly some millions of
years ago. To date only 6 of these flying Umbuku have been produced and
they are kept seperate from the natural Umbuku due the risk of cross
breeding.
