In today's #inkyDays drawing, I'm experimenting with combining these turtle motifs with lizard motifs...and different colors.
I also started a new piece on watercolor paper.
Here's an in-progress shot. The rest is now posted for my supporters on Patreon and ko-fi: https://www.patreon.com/KristinHenry/posts/inkydays-august-165503193

At the rancho we called them 'lagartijos'. My dad took the pic. He is near Zacatecas City in México. If there is an expert reading, help me identify it. it is on a zinc roof but near the human made structure is a hillside filled with grass and scrubs, the location is about 2300 meters above sea level

"Scientists have described a new species of lizard from the high mountain forests of western Thailand, and have given it a name straight out of fantasy television: Acanthosaura syrax, named after Syrax, the dragon ridden by Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen in House of the Dragon."

Very large specimen of a Lace Monitor (Varanus varius). Beautiful creature just ambled into our campsite in Cooktown, Far North Queensland and had a sniff around and ambled out again. A real privilege to see such a beauty so close up. Stunning. #nature #wildlife #reptiles #australia #photography #wildlifephotography #lizards #environment

Fascinating:
"in 1998, scientists discovered something remarkable: western fence lizard blood contains a protein that kills B. burgdorferi bacteria."
"Not only does the lizard avoid infection, but the tick feeding on it is actually cured of the bacteria it was carrying."

The paper:
"Borreliacidal Factor in the Blood of the Western Fence Lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis)", R. S. Lane, G. B. Quistad. The Journal of Parasitology, Vol. 84, No. 1 (Feb., 1998), pp. 29-34
