I want to give a shout out to all of you who are tuning in. Yesterday I had hits from all different parts of the world. Closer to home I've been getting some neat suggestions for places to look, including a spot where a family of foxes live. To show my gratitude I am going to post an especially kick-ass picture this Wednesday, the 4th of July. Do tune in.Its Sunday and Im lazy. These are Texas Spiny Lizards. If they were ten thousand times bigger we would call them dinosaurs.

Tell me, please, I beg of you. There is absolutely no way I can wait the fourty eight hours that you ask me to. No, I can, but it won't be easy.
Thanks for the wonderful nature.
Dude! You are going to have to wait just like everybody else. Do you like the way my photographic ability has blossomed?
No, they would not be called "dinosaurs" but instead Komodo dragons. Komodos produce offspring by parthenogenesis.
Ah, I see that Jeany Choi has decided to share with us again. But would she care to enlighten us as to the meaning of "parthenogenesis?"
It's when a woman doesn't need a man.
Impossible!
Mother Nature doesn't think so, mjb... From the BBC, 5/23/07:
Female hammerhead sharks can reproduce without having sex, scientists confirm.
The evidence comes from a shark at Henry Doorly Zoo in Nebraska which gave birth to a pup in 2001 despite having had no contact with a male.
Genetic tests by a team from Belfast, Nebraska and Florida prove conclusively the young animal possessed no paternal DNA, Biology Letters journal reports.
...take that, Y chromosome!
Curses!
in florida we called these things horny toads and they can shoot blood out of their eyes.
