Lizards

Okay. I come all this way, climb the castle battlements and ramparts, in search of the beautiful princess. What do I find instead?

Any gardener knows that those pesky gnomes always present a problem with their mischief. It is often necessary to take somewhat drastic steps to deal with them. This funny Gnome-Hunting Bearded Dragon Statue is just the thing to make them think twice about sticking around.

Things aren't too peachy down in Georgia, where Tegu lizards native to Argentina are leading a saurian invasion on a positively Shermanic scale.

Gardening season is in full force for most of us. Plants and flowers are all well and good, but it is nice to have some surprising little decorative accents as well. This amazing Iguana Garden Statue is just the thing to add a bit of spice to your outdoor living space.

Evolution is amazing in how it has managed to provide so many different animals with ways to defend or protect themselves. It is even more incredible when you consider that two different animals that evolved thousands of miles away use the same basic defense. Take the armadillo lizard as a case in point. Like the armadillo it has natural armor and when threatened it curls up to make itself difficult for predators to catch and eat.

Cats will do just about anything to be in the warmest place in the house, even if that mean sharing a heat lamp with your lizard.

According to poet Robert Frost "Some say the world will end in fire. Some say in ice." While so many animals have been losing their lives to the massive wildfires in Australia, unusually cold weather in Florida is taking its own toll. This week the National Weather Service issued a warning for South Florida residents to beware of falling frozen iguanas as unusually cold temps grip the region.

This is one animal I would not like to meet in a dark alley. Well, okay, in a dark jungle. It would be noshing on my leg before I could actually see it.
