We drove by a tiny Spek’s Hingeback tortoise in Savuti. Bea and Mila played with it a while and wished it could be their pet.
We saw a giant one that looked like a dinosaur. We saw a small one that looked like a leguaan. We slept beside them at the Zambezi River (not in our beds)
A beautiful creature, very colourful. It looked a bit like a dragon that had lost its wings.
The lizard was in the King’s Enclosure, we watched it climb a high horizontal rock wall.
This lovely chameleon was climbing up Bea’s top and opened its mouth wide just before it reached her face. It was bright orange inside and we all got a big fright. Imagine what a fly feels like…
When it ran to hide in the bushes, big grey splodges appeared on its skin (camouflage). Its tail is longer than its body.
Moves faster than you’d think.
Loves juicy lettuce better than grass. Has a long pink tongue, efficient if inelegant eater. Not afraid of humans.
