Unveiling the Enigmatic World of the Extinct Round Island Burrowing Boa
Conservation Concerns and Rediscovery
Prepare yourself for an extraordinary glimpse into the realm of the extinct Round Island burrowing boa (Bolyeria multocarinata), an enigmatic species that once called the shores of Mauritius home.
Endemism and Decline
This monotypic boa, belonging to the family Bolyeriidae, was native exclusively to the secluded Round Island, a tiny islet nestled northeast of Mauritius. Tragically, the species faced relentless persecution, habitat destruction, and introduced predators, leading to its presumed extinction in the late 1800s.
