#photography thread because I had to go check on the kapok tree (c.f. https://m.bonzoesc.net/@bonzoesc/108272389211215969 )
Lizards with flaky skin mid-shed
It’s iguana shedding season I guess
Last three pics are the big guy “King” down at the iguana tree
@bonzoesc oh! squirrel!
Lizards with flaky skin mid-shed
@bonzoesc few things look more like a product of evolution to me than this thing
@warriorstar honestly for me peafowl do haha
like the iguana seems like a critter that just kind of found a niche and mostly didn’t have to evolve much (probably wrong)
but the peafowl ended up with completely ludicrous plumage to get attention for mating and also to show that the owner of that plumage didn’t get eaten by a leopard despite the drag of their train and generally being a loud lout
Thanks for looking!
