My camera shoots fascists

#LizardReport
This is my little porch lizard buddy who, after almost 5 months of hand feeding, is still skittish. They're kind of like cats in that they do the most adorable things to get comfortable sometimes, even when they look, to us, to be extremely uncomfortable. It's warming up in the sun. In a few minutes the porch will get too warm and it will start hanging out in the shade.

This is the finicky one who will eat live mealworms from my hand all day but turns up its nose at the freeze dried ones. (The baby one over on the wall is the same way.) For the last couple days, I've left a handful of dried ones behind the chair and they disappeared, but my suspicions were just confirmed when a thrasher (local bird) made repeat trips to the porch, sneaking around behind the chair to eat them.

A brown spiny lizard, about 6 inches long, standing up on his hind legs, arms overhead and spread out, leaning against a small patch of sun hitting a white painted wall. It's tail is still on the ground, helping with balance. Imagine a cop telling a lizard "turn around, up against the wall and spread 'em!" Very odd position for a lizard.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (by Dr Dean Lomax & published by Columbia University Press) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. "The Windswept Colony" shows a colony of nesting Hamipterus pterosaurs being disturbed by a storm.

"Once considered simple and 'primitive', the 'reptilian brain is now recognized to govern complex behaviours', write De Meester and Baeckens. They argue that reptiles show 'immense potential' as model species for research into the 'mechanisms, the development, and evolution of animal cognition'.”
