  I am so happy that this lizard is very small, imagine if it was the size of a horse, or an elephant. Posted 11 years ago

    That would bring back the dinosaur age for sure! Got any more photos of this species? Posted 11 years ago

Hi petmer28,

The creature has a great name attached to it:) Wow, wouldn't like to step on one of these:) I've never seen anything like it. My first impression was that I was looking at a bunch of funny stacked leaves. How wrong I was. Beautiful. Posted 11 years ago
