stepping outside the world of mammals

Today, I'm going with Daisy's pick of: Lizards! There are quite a few lizards that live in Florida, which is where Daisy and Harley live. You can learn about what lizards live in Florida here.

I hope Daisy doesn't mind (let me know if you do, Daisy), but I'm going to use a few of her posts about lizards to help talk about them. We won't mention the alligators that live near her, though, so as not to scare anybody!.

If you read about lizards and decide you want to get a more personal experience, you can try capturing one. Here is Daisy (with a special appearance by her sister Pixie, who is, sadly, no longer with us) to give you some tips and hints. Once you catch a lizard, and maybe name him George, or even Snack, you can set up your own little observation station to do all sorts of scientific-y watching and stuff. Here are some of the surprising things you may learn.

To finish off today's post about lizards, I will leave you with a PSA from Daisy and Harley about being careful what you wish for when it comes to lizards.

Thanks again, Professor Daisy!

p.s to all Daisy and Harley fans - they are now selling a 2010 calendar!
