What, they found only 3 males and 15 females, suggested themselves it should be considered an endangered species, yet they killed one of each to study??? Also

Also looking at the paper it seems that the female had 7 eggs in her
- bayesian_horse 6y agoYou can reason that they didn't exhaustively search all the area the animals could exist in, so they certainly missed a huge proportion of the total population. It's a tradeoff. They had to kill two animals in order to adequately catalogue and study this species. Just as it would be a tradeoff to decide and take some for captive breeding. Which may also fail.
