Wulf Haacke discovered these after having gone back to the same part of Angola where he found them so many years ago. He then used DNA on the new captives to complete the description of the species. This animal was also bred before the description was completed. It is established in captivity and does not seem to be difficult to keep alive.
Unfortunately Wulf will not ever be going on any field trips again and unless he finishes the work on animals he has already collected this might be his last discovery.
