Living Desert visits part 1

 

Coachella Lizard. Looked like road kill to me. But Bill made me look close and sure enough his side was moving in and out. 

Made me think of Monty Python's dead parrot sketch. This ugly guy looks dead as a doornail but I guess that's what he hopes you think. He'll blow up from collar back if you really threaten him. 

This lovely kitty is a Caracal or desert lynx.
She gave us a big toothy yawn just after I put down my camera. 

I'm partial to badgers from my zoo days.
