Sorry for the lower quality image, I took this one on my phone and as the saying goes, the best camera is the one you have with you.

    Fun fact: This is the deadliest lizard on planet earth. Rather than just poison, this species’ deadliness is solely attributed to it being found in Australia.

    welcome to !lizards@lemmy.world

    lizardlore

    i consider a lot of scaly land creatures lizards like lots of people consider random insects/arachnids/etc. bugs. forgive me if i am mistaken, for i am unfortunately not a herpetologist…yet?

      Thanks, i just cross posted it there. I checked their rules and they do have some exceptions. I dont know whether the Water Dragons are considered lizards, and im not an expert but i have posted several images to birding after someone else suggested there too.

        I did a quick look on wikipedia and I think it should check out! I’m always happy to see some fun lizards and reptiles, so thanks for sharing!

          Yeah I think Lemmy is still in the early stages and hope people are open to bending some rules. I have a photo os some Tawny Frogmouths that I might ask to post to Superbowl even though they’re not owls.

            The one mod is more particular than the other on Superbowl. Just make your main image an owl and you should be good though. I’ve posted some other raptors and a few misc animals when I go tour animal rescues.

            There’s always the Birding community too, though it’s a little less active than Superbowl, but still gets good traffic.
