Here's another Aussie special! Delmas are legless lizards and there are about 45 species of them in Australia and Papua New Guinea. I believe 22 of them are endemic to Australia. Some are more endangered than others.

This short video gives you a great overview on delmas and how to know them apart from snakes. They are cuties!

conditioned to believe about different species.

Yeah, i tried to communicate that its definitely a me thing in that comment.


So a few yeara back i worked with a few Brazillian guys. Somehow this snake, it was a beautiful green, got into a closed off garden there at work. As I came out to see there these two drongos are waving a twig in the snakes face. The snake was hissing and rearing up, and I asked them "why they were doing that?", their answer "oh, bit of fun." Needless to say I told them not to bother it and we got a snake catcher to come and take it away later that day.

    It's great you were there to educate them. Hopefully they now know better and can also educate others.
