Godzilla. . .

The latest movie that didn't do that great (with Matthew Broderick) theorized that Godzilla got his/her start as a big lizard and then was nuked into super stardom. Perhaps this was the size of what the pre-Godzilla looked like. We found this critter wandering around down by the gate the other day. It's an older one, as part of its tail has fallen off and it's losing color towards the end of what bit of tail it does have left. It has a huge chin waddle as well, really big and saggy. I was able to get up really close to it. It didn't seem to mind that Keneth was running the weed eater just a few feet away, or that I walked up and started taking pictures. He wasn't in the mood to move very fast or far, it seemed, being content to soak up some sun on the grass.

While driving around down here, you do have to watch for iguanas crossing the road. They can get pretty long, but they are very low to the ground still, and I have not seen a couple when we've been driving. I'm used to looking out for dogs and cats, which are higher off the ground, but not low-slung lizards.
