Wot I Saw in the Bush!

This is a very handsome Blue Tongued Lizard, and you can see why it is called that. The lizard is in the process of shedding it's old skin, which you can see is still covering part of the back area, while the head and shoulders are nice and shiny new skin.  This is a particularly large specimen and was being very fierce while I attempted to photograph it. It hissed, blew itself up with air and flicked its blue tongue at me.
