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).

Bungles formations

I love these formations. I'm ready to go back and spend several days exploring around the side canyons. Turns out that there is an endemic species of lizard (a skink) that lives on top of the Bungle Bungle range. It's both rare and recently discovered, so it has never been photographed. Unfortunately, it's not only rare, but also burrows through the spinifex, so it would be a real challenge to find. I might decide I need to spend several weeks looking....
