    Wow!! what a strange looking little critter! I bet he moves fast with those long legs of his!

  • David Clark replied

    thanks Jan - yeah they do move fast - but it is relative cause they are so small - the huge toes help them keep off the hot sand - dave

    Woow Dave! Outstanding shot!!!!!!!!! I like how you focused on it…it gives the feeling he is a part of the sand…sorry, I can’t explain more exactly as my vocabulary is small…anyway I like it and it goes straight to my favorite :o))

  • David Clark replied

    thanks Rosy - I was laying down on the sand to take the photo - his color is same as the sand and he can be very hard to see – but I think he is really cute and very small—dave

    well captured image. It shows a typical behavior of raising as high above the ground as possible to minimize the heat accumulation. I like how it blends so well with its environment. Thanks for sharing with the Art of the Middle East group.

    Very cool photo Dave. Similar to some of our great little dragons here in Oz.

  • David Clark replied

    thanks Chris – these little guys are great – we have a larger monitor type and a very large slow “dhub” or spiny tailed lizard – they are great to see roaming in the sand – dave
