Ten years after a major volcanic eruption and two hurricanes 11 members of an undescribed type of lizard are found on an island. They have large numerous toepads similar to tree lizards, but the dark brown coloration of ground lizards. It is safe to conclude:

Group of answer choices

Volcanism released some materials that induces mutations and this is an example of accelerated speciation.

Whoa, it's too early to jump to any conclusions. Any of the above are theoretically possible, or it could be a species that was there all along and we are just now finding it. Controlled observations and gene sequencing are needed to place these individuals properly.

That this is an interspecies hybrid formed from two lizards forced to share a the same habitat from extreme ecological pressures.

The hurricane likely blew some lizards in from another island.
