    ZSL's EDGE programme have released a list of the 100 most evolutionarily distinct and globally endangered reptiles:
    Species | EDGE of Existence

    Can't help but wonder how much the list has been biased by IUCN assessment work covering more of the herpetofauna of certain countries, such as Madagascar, as the IUCN status of a species seems to play a significant part in it's listing.
