New species named after Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha

A new species of red sea slug, named 'Aldisa vozinha,' has been discovered in the Caribbean and named after Cape Verde national footballer Vozinha, celebrated for his heroic performances during the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Biologist Jesus Ortea, who discovered the mollusc, highlighted Vozinha's 'prominent role' in Cape Verde's historic run, including a notable draw against Spain, known as 'La Roja.' The naming honors Vozinha's achievements and the red color of the species symbolizes his success. Ortea, a retired professor, has previously named other marine discoveries after sports figures, including Keylor Navas and Quini.
