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).

Free rides?


Free rides?

I wonder if this Aldabra tortoise knows he's to be ferrying kids around...

I was hoping to see Harriet, the 175 year old tortoise from the Galapagos islands, and reported to have been collected by Charles Darwin himself (apparently, there is some debate about this). Turns out she died about 6 months ago. But there were still four Aldabra tortoises wandering around at the Australia Zoo. This guy seemed oblivious to the advertised free rides.
