Lizard Man's Travels

This site is a journal of my travels and other adventures while I shift from doing postdoctoral research on tree frog ecology in Darwin, Australia, to research on digestive physiology of lizards and bats in Sede Boqer, Israel. Enough friends have been asking me for regular updates on this journey, that I thought this would be the best forum to keeep everyone up to date (including me).

R.O.U.S.?

No, not a rodent of unusual size, but an elephant... or at least their closest relative is the elephant. It's a dassie (or hyrax depending on where you're from) on Table mountain. Those teeth look menacing, but mostly they just ignored people and ate flowers. They were all over the top of Table mountain - and pretty much everywhere else there were rocks.
