Curiosity Killed the ?????

I was asleep on the loft bed when I heard a commotion in the living room. "The three boys are up to something," I thought. But I'm not a normal cat if I'm not curious, right?

So down I went to see what the excitement was all about. I looked at Brad as usually he's the leader of rowdiness. "Look, Angelina. We caught a weird looking creature," he said.

Then I saw it.

Eeuuwww! A dead lizard!!!  

I quickly left the scene. Don't want to be caught with something I wasn't a party too in the first place.

The dead lizard - belly up. Hey...where's the tail? Somebody ate it?

See that black single fur next to the dead lizard? The CSI team would certainly say: Pingu did it.

Now...if this lizard** had come a-calling, nobody would dare eat his tail. But with these rowdy boys ...who knows...

Yikes! I hate lizards, dead or alive. Especially not that humongous one I saw at Nanna's garden. purrr....meow!



**There are six species of blue-tongued lizards or skinks in Australia. They vary a bit in colour and size, but most commonly they are grey with broad brown stripes across their back and tail, and they grow to around a foot in length (that's just the head and body, not the tail).


Common or Eastern Blue-tongue Lizard (Tiliqua scincoides scincoides): this one is widespread in the south east of Australia and looks just as described above, grey with dark stripes. More info about them at: http://www.outback-australia-travel-secrets.com/blue-tongue-lizard.html
