January 12 - animal


OK, we live on a farm so this one is easy! still, rather than dogs, horses or cattle, you would like to see our other animals wouldn't you?? We have kangaroos, wallabies, platypus, echidnas, snakes, goannas, frogs, quoll, wombats (speaking of wombats, did you know wombat poo is like little bricks, not round) ...
So this is my animal of the day! A lace monitor who lives in the casuarina trees by the river. He is about 2m long and has claws the size of my little finger. Sometimes he comes up and has a stroll through the orchard to see what he can find but mostly he just hangs out in a tree. Enjoy :-) I like the camouflage effect of his skin against the tree bark.
