A frog that lives outside our hut on Sunset Beach on Koh Lipe Island. Reflected in the frog's eye is the view from our hut's balcony out to sea
Probably some plant from when it ate last before i saw it, i was curious if it might have been a little bit of rubbish but i really doubt that. A fair few people who go to the park nearby where i saw this very nice reptile leave their rubbish all over the place, really annoying to see.
Reptile as he appears in the Mortal Kombat series, based on a mixed of his Deadly Alliance and Shaolin Monks designs.
The Australian Water Dragon (Intellagama lesueurii) is one of the few lizards capable of staying submerged underwater for up to 90 minutes to evade predators. These reptiles are excellent swimmers and use their long, muscular tails for propulsion in water. Males can grow up to 1 meter long, with a distinctive crest running down their back and tail, which they use to intimidate rivals during territorial displays. Interestingly, they can also thrive in urban environments, often seen basking near rivers, parks, and backyards in Australian cities.
Thanks everyone who view my pictures and for the Comments/Faves on them, really appreciated...
Palmitos Park, Gran Canaria
Today at the Santa Clara Art and wind festival, I sat next to a man with this on his shoulder. I thought that it was a rubber thing, so, I askd if it was real. The man touched it and it started to wiggle. I asked if I could shoot a picture of it. I don't know what it is. It is on the back of the man here. He said that it was cheaper than a girlfriend.

I got bored at home doing some house work, it was extremely overcast but temps were in the low 60's so I headed out for a hike at the West Bloomfield Woods Preserve, Hike/Bike area to see what was out. Glad I did, a day outdoors, no matter what the weather is better than staying indoors.
"don't call me chicken!" - When I photographed this turtle at a pond in Tucson, I had no idea what species it was, so I sent the pic to a Herpetologist friend. Turns out, this is called a Chicken Turtle (Deirochelys reticularia), which is a uncommon species of pond turtle found in Southeastern U.S. According to Wikipedia - The name "chicken" turtle refers to the taste of their meat, which used to be popular in southern markets.

Bolivar Shorebird Sanctuary, Galveston County, Texas
As I was on my return from the far end of the Bolivar Shorebird Sanctuary Beach to the car I stopped short seeing this creature. I believe it has just finished laying its eggs up the beach. Looking at its mouth it is covered in sand. As it happens Houston Audubon has much of the beach roped off to protect nesting areas. This little lady was on the other side. She watched me for several seconds then perceived it was safe and she continued her journey to the bay. Once departed I moved to her track in the sand and could see where they disappeared into the protected area. I don't know how far back they went as I respected the rope line but these two factors lead me to believe she was leaving eggs behind...Good Luck to them.
