Rizal as Zoologist
Dr Abe V Rotor
As a zoologist, Rizal discovered living organisms unnamed in his time, such as a flying (gliding) lizard (Draco Rizali), Harlequin Tree Frog (Racophorus Rizali), among others, named after him.
While not a professional zoologist, Rizal's keen interest in nature and his collections of specimens from Dapitan earned him recognition as a naturalist. He studied and identified various species, and some were even named after him, according to the University of the Philippines Los Baños. His contributions to understanding Philippine biodiversity are acknowledged, and he is often considered the "father of Philippine biodiversity".AI Overview
