An old file I ran across on the HD
I usually don't do large waders but there he was so I pulled the trigger.
Taken in the backwaters of the upper Mississippi.

A bull frog, which I have rarely seen in the Kruger

[WPRESTO]

Cactus wren. The bull frog demonstrates the problem with common names. Here, that would be some kind of toad. The amphibian called a "bull frog" in the USA is profoundly different.

[Pentaxians]

A monitor lizard from the local wet land.

[WPRESTO]

A lesser lizard from a dryer habitat.

I'll join the reptile craze- Rock Monitor- one of 2 that we have here, this one, unlike that of Pentaxians, much prefers drier habitats, but is not averse to water either.

Let's see: there are one or two more lizards in the ready-to-post folder.
