The long saga of bureaucratic mismanagement that was the renewal of my Companion Native Animal Keeper licence has finally come to a conclusion.
13 1/2 weeks after submitting my renewal application to the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service I have now received my new licence. That means that this scaly sausage is legit again, after being held on an expired licence for the past 12 1/2 weeks through no fault of my own.
As noted up thread these types of licences used to be granted automatically within minutes, but then the NSW goverment decided that all animal licence applications needed to be reviewed, but didn't give the NPWS Wildlife Licencing Team the necessary resources to do it. The inevitable result has been months long backlogs of applications awaiting manual processing.

Today, for many reasons, was a good day. Best of all was that I saw a blue-tailed skink in the wild and managed to photograph it before it ran off.

“The kiwi, a… flightless bird from New Zealand, is disappearing, largely because of invasive species brought to the country’s islands by humans. So New Zealand has set a goal of exterminating rats, possums and other invasive animals that threaten the country’s biodiversity…”

Two crap photos of the same common local skink. 🦎What caught my eye was the translucent opalescent skin/scales that are sort of visible in the first photo. The second photo is the same lizard after it moved, but now it looks brown.

Bestial Human Skink
Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, writing by Colin Chapman
Bestial human skinks are typical lizardoids, and so aggressive and territorial carnivores with a taste for bugmeat. They have strong bites (SV +9/ DMG 1d12), and are capable climbers (1d2 skill points in climbing), as well as secretive (1d2 skill points in stealth) and quick to act (+1 initiative).
Skink-men can grow back a lost leg, tail, or arm within 2+d3 months and may even voluntarily shed their tail to escape predators, which often break off their chase for the rest of the character to eat the still moving, fleshy tail.Check it out: https://www.outlandarts.com/expansionrules.htm

Hello Mastodon! My #introduction: I am a #postdoctoral #researcher at #Harvard focused on #EvolutionaryGenomics of #adaptation and #ConvergentEvolution in #vertebrates, especially #SquamateReptiles. Currently, I am exploring the #evolution of convergent #LimbReduction in #skink #lizards. Due to the nature of my work, I am also passionate about #NaturalHistoryMuseums and #MuseumGenomics. I grew up in #UpstateNY and did my #PhD at #UnivTexasArlington.
