I hadn't seen an alligator lizard around here in years.
Then I rescued this one from a playful kitty, who had him cornered ... warily watching him move from side to side, then freeze when anything came near.
I picked him up, carrying him across the street into a "kitty-free" area, back to freedom ... where he scooted off in search of his tiny bit of heaven.

I love alligator lizards! We found one in Grammie's basement when we lived there. Lizzie lived to be four or five years old. She was a darling little lizard--she even seemed to like us humans.
ReplyDeleteThey have such beautiful faces--they are rather like scaled deer faces. (grin)
This is a lovely picture, Sissy. I wonder if this lizard is one of Lizzy's great great great great great great grandchildren???
(grin)
Bravo, you are a hero. Everything in nature deserves a chance to survive.

Your story reminds me one time when we rescued a blue tongue lizard that was nearly killed by our dogs. The lizard had a bit of scratches on his body.We cleaned the scratches and put him inside a big box. The following day when he seemed so alive and active, we decided to put him to a bush nearby where there is small creek.

Oh so glad you rescued him. I've never seen one of these before...quite a looker :)
