Blind Amphibian Who Buries Head In Sand Named After President

A business owner is naming a recently discovered new species after President Trump.  The species is a blind amphibian that buries its head in the sand.  Aidan Bell paid $25,000 at auction to get the right to name the species Dermophis donaldtrumpi.  Bell leads the sustainable building materials company EnviroBuild.  He compared the creature's habit of burying its head in the sand to Trump's approach to climate change.  The legless amphibian was discovered in Panama and the scientists who discovered it agreed to use the name.  This is the second time a new species was named after the president.  Last year a moth whose wings resemble Trump's hair was named Neopalpa donaldtrumpi.
