This Eastern Water Dragon didn’t want us to use this path.

A lot of native wildlife has been barring our paths of late.

Very young Water Dragon with long tail ...twice as long as it's body.

Found this little guy (Water Dragon?) this morning, covered in dirt so I assume he is newly hatched. A large Black Rock Skink was dangerously close so I released the little one a safe distance away.

Boy can they run!

Beneath the scales: The secret bone armor that helped lizards survive Australia Scientists have uncovered hidden bony armor—called osteoderms—beneath the skin of 29 goanna species across Australasia, a discovery that radically changes what we thought we knew about lizard evolution. Using museum specimens and advanced scanning, researchers found these structures are far more widespread than previously known, suggesting they may help with survival in harsh environments, not just offer protection. The revelation redefines how we understand lizard adaptation, ancient evolution, and the untapped potential of museum collections.

Can these endangered lizards beat the heat? Scientists test bold relocation plan South Australia’s tiny pygmy bluetongue skink is baking in a warming, drying homeland, so Flinders University scientists have tried a bold fix—move it. Three separate populations were shifted from the parched north to cooler, greener sites farther south. At first the lizards reacted differently—nervous northerners diving for cover, laid-back southerners basking in damp burrows—but after two years most are settling in, suggesting they can ultimately thrive.
