epa03031541 A undated handout photo provided by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Greater Mekong on 12 December 2011 shows Leiolepis ngovantrii – an all-female species that reproduces via cloning, without the need for male lizards. The six-country Mekong River region is so biologically rich that an average of one new species is discovered there every other day, the WWF said 12 December 2011. A snub-nosed, Elvis-coiffed monkey; a self-cloning, all-female lizard or five carnivorous plants are among the 208 new species discovered by scientists last year, the WWF said. The Greater Mekong region includes Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and the south-western Chinese province of Yunnan.
