Field Notes

Description:

People may sometimes be completely ignorant of simple problems their actions might cause. This 'Blue-tongue' has tried to get through a rabbit-wire fence, got stuck and died there. It seems to have been a fully grown specimen.

Habitat:

At the border of a large country town and a local farm.

Notes:

Estimated period of desiccation is about six months. As this species of lizard is highly mobile for some part of the year maybe these fences could be designed differently.
