I am starting a new project something that has always fascinated me are scientific charts. So I am going to start making them…some truth, some elaboration, but that’s what the masters did too.

Illustration of a Gharial,(Gavialis gangeticus) a rare freshwater crocodile that inhabits only two rivers in Nepal and India. These crocs are going extinct and it’s a shame, hence the precious egg emphasized. They don’t breed well in captivity and happen to be the only croc with a visible sexual dimorphism.Look at that nose!

More to come!

astronomy-to-zoology: Burton’s Legless Lizard (Lialis burtonis)

This no snake, this is actually a species of legless lizard or pygopodid native to Australia and New Guinea. Although they may look like snakes they have fleshy tongues opposed to snakes thin forked tongues, they also have ears. Other than their lack of appendages they are similar to other lizards and have a diet of other reptiles like geckos and snakes.

Earless Monitor Lizard (Lanthanotus borneensis)

…is a species of lizard native to Northern Borneo. Despite its common name this lizard is not a true monitor and is the only member of its family. They also are capable of hearing, but lack an eardrum which is where the name comes from. Earless Monitors are extremely rare and not much is known about their biology. They are known to be nocturnal and burrowing, their diet consists mainly of worms and other small invertebrates.
