A newly discovered species of lizard in the mountainous forests of Peru has been named after Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson.

The lizard dubbed Enyalioides dickinsoni was found by scientists at the Tambopata National Reserve in the Cordillera de Colán mountain range 460 miles north of Lima, Peru.

“Bruce Dickinson is not only a legend in the world of heavy metal, but also an inspiration to many due to his diverse talents and accomplishments,” said Dr. Alessandro Catenazzi, a Peruvian biologist involved in the discovery. Naming this new species after him is our way of recognizing his influence and paying homage to his many passions.”
