Some Lizard Photos from Cairns, Australia.

Postby LovesChihuahuas » Sun Oct 21, 2012 9:17 pm

Recently I had a Holiday up in North Queensland, Cairns. There were many Skinks and Lizards all over the place, I took a few pictures and thought I would post them if anyone is interested. Very pleased to see so many Lizards and Skinks up there, as you can imagine :D

A dragon in with a monitor?? That's a big risk. What wildlife park was this? Interesting that they keep those two together.

Nice pictures, though, thank you. It's good to see they exhibit examples of all species, including the blue tongue skinks, not just the big lizards, like the monitors.

If the zoo is anything like Irwin's Australia zoo, where the water dragons occur in plague proportions, I wouldn't be surprised if the EWD is a freeloader and is endemic to the zoo grounds. They become very accustomed to a free feed.

very interesting, that water dragon is very cool, I wonder what size the monitor and dragon were? Trying to figure out how big that dragon is :)
