Lizard Babe

A baby Jamaican Anole that I saved from the clutches of my kitten's jaws! (Then willingly placed on a pretty hibiscus.)

These lizards are common sights in Bermuda, although they were introduced and form part of a long and faily silly chain: Fruit flies were a nuisance so the anole was introduced. But when a tiny cedar scale insect was introduced by mistake on imported Christmas trees and decimated the endemic Bermuda Cedar trees, no biologicial control could be established because of these lizards. So the yellow Kiskadee was introduced to take care of the lizards. Now these are the biggest problem - it turned out they didn't even like lizards that much but ate pretty much anything else.

Oh, and we still have fruit flies and the cedars sorted themselves out anyway with a resistant strain becoming dominant!
