Ants and broken glass

Just a few seconds of small ants making their way over and under broken glass. Notice the gust of wind in the last second.

The not-so-bright lizard

This short sequence gives me an idea as to why this particular lizard is missing half its tail. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

My other lizard encounters:

A rather large lagarto visits Jerry’s asado

Maguari stork

Maguari stork (Ciconia maguari) and ducks

Its presence upsets the teros (Southern lapwing – Vanellus chilensis),  but it clearly has no attention of going anywhere. They were hassling it when I arrived, and still an hour later.

Tarantula

See also The lucky spider for a tarantula that barely misses being stepped on by an enthusiastic if oblivious dog.

Mocha’s new buddy

This after 45 minutes of running and playing vigorously for several minutes before I decided to record it.

A very silly dog.

Its threat response consists of waving a plastic bottle around. Say what?

Crazy tiny ants

Very busy tiny red ants we’ve never seen before, on the dog walk today.

The lucky spider

The dog Lea has an exceptional gift for stepping on anything we stop to look at on our dog walks. Happily, this time she misses.
