THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING IRON MAN - LEAPING LIZARDS !!
(BEST SEEN LARGE)
While on patrol in the microverse the Incredible Shrinking Iron Man rescued a lizard from certain death by drowning in a water recycling tub.
The grateful reptile gasped its thanks and asked how it might reward the gallant red and gold Avenger.
"No need," Shellhead insisted, "Just doing my job."
The lizard looked disappointed so Tony Stark thought for a moment then kindly added, "Well, there is one thing you might do....if you ever run into Fin Fang Foom you could put in a good word for me."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, that's pretty much the way this picture came about, just as Iron Man said. We spotted the lizard floating in the water tub, scooped him out, and as he was recovering (the cold water had made him torpid so he had a lie down in the sun for a while) quickly set up and snapped this picture. I've done very little to alter it.
Sometimes you just get lucky; certainly true in the lizard's case! It scampered away later.
I think this little bloke is a Marbled Gecko (Christinus marmoratus)....
