Two eastern blue tongue lizards. Tiliqua scincoides scincoides. Um, about to get funky…
The male is the smaller one. Blue tongues are very cool, and well loved. #lizards#nature#fauna#australia#animals#skink

This little New Holland Honeyeater fleetingly landed in front of me, just long enough for me to quickly take this picture before it took off again. I was lucky this time because they are usually way too fast for me to get a good picture of.
Waschbären gefährden laut Studie einheimische Tiere
Waschbären mögen niedlich aussehen, doch sie sind keineswegs harmlos: Sie breiten sich in Deutschland schnell aus und gefährden laut einer Studie heimische Schlangen und Frösche.

Two Cuban Anoles, left, the Cuban Knight Anole (Anolis equestris) and right, the Western Giant Anole (Anolis luteogularis). Both are considered giant anoles (~19 cm in snout-vent length, with a tail longer than that). Males slightly larger than females. Both are Cuban endemics, although A. equestris has been introduced into Florida, while A. luteogularis is only found on the western end of the island. The Anolis radiation provides a classic case of adaptive radiation with convergent evolution on the many Caribbean islands. Unrelated species (not sharing common ancestors possessing their traits) have evolved with very similar body forms to fill similar ecological niches on each island. These are categorized as "ecomorphs." Both A. equestris and A. luteogularis are "Crown-giant ecomorphs," since they prefer the higher limbs of tall trees.The A. luteogularis, which is noticeably moulting, was basking on a ladder at a tourist bar near a mojote , and allowed me to approach quite closely before extending its gular pouch (last photo), whereupon I backed up a bit to give it some space. #Cuba#Naturephotography#wildlifephotography#birds#reptiles#reptilephotography#ecology#evolution#Anolis#Cubanwildlife#fauna
