(And One Mollusk)
The large turtle was in my yard
and I was curious about their biting ability. I (gently)
presented the handle-end of a golf club toward the turtle. He
snapped and actually bit through the leather grip!
The coin is a nickle!
A lizard displays to attract a mate.
Lizards can regrow lost
tails. I've seen them lose a tail and hold still while the lost
tail continued to wiggle. Of course the attacking predator went
for the moving tail!
