Tuscany 2011

[Niklas Ban]

My family and I spent our holiday in Tuscany and there I found some nice Animals. Unfortunately, too little snakes. The report is only available in German

nice pictures, Niklas
I´m woundering, if this one Lacerta bilineata was sitting up side down in reality?
...and the viridiflavus seems to be heavily injured, if not even dead - why? any idea?

no, but i fergot to revolve it. It was climbing on the tree

Hmm an the small viridflavus was dead I think that maybe a adult L. billineata have killed him. In the area I found it were many big billineatas. It may not have been killed a long time ago, because the eyes were still there. Additionally it could have been a bird Merops apiaster and Alcedo atthis were also very often where iI found it. I can only say that I have disturbed the offender otherwise he would have left not so much of it.
