Another Dinosaur Spotting

While we are mostly known for our pterodactyls, it looks like we have another resident dinosaur.



"Ack! Turn off the lights! Yeesh, I hate Mondays."



Actually, he (or she) was happy to feel some warm sun. Saint Tim found it under a tarp and it was cool enough under there that I was able to walk out with the camera and watch it wake up.







"Ai! King Kong! Put me down!"



I'm pretty sure this is a salamander, but not sure what kind and I don't have time to look it up right now. Jump in if you know!

Yuck. When I lived in Louisiana, we had Geckos all over - they would even get in the house sometimes. We had a Five-lined Skink that lived in a flower bed.

Awesome shots! He really IS smiling! I won a writing contest once about trying to catch one without touching it with my hands. Needless to say it was rather comical.

The salamanders we had were far wetter than that little guy. They had gills that came out the side of their heads and would never be in earth that dry because they absorb oxygen through the water on their skin. That little one looks almost lizard like - could very well be a salamander though. It has a salamander face. I think it is cute.

He looks like a Jefferson/Mole Salamander found in hills and valleys and comes out in the Spring to mate. Just a guess, though. I think he is charming!

He is so cute! I used to have fire belly newts and loved the little squirmy guys. Looks like he is eating well at your place. :)
