I made a little lizard friend in the park today… of course, it was just waiting for me to stop recording it and leave.

@martinfeld Nice! Is that a goanna?

@martinfeld How little is this friend? It’s hard to tell, but he looks big to me? 🦖

@Miraz From what I could tell, it’s a water dragon. 😀

@macgenie Haha yes, that’s a fair thing to say. I’d estimate that it was about 50 centimetres / 18 inches long.

@martinfeld That’s quite the profile s/he has! I wonder how far back in evolutionary time it developed?

@the Beautiful, right? Not sure but you can read about them here...

@martinfeld Thanks—and so I did! Makes me think, “Australia: it ain’t all koalas, mate!” 😄

@the Haha as an Australian I can confirm that!
