This is actually a picture of a salamander.

This is actually a limb injury in this salamander.

So, salamanders can do it.

I didn't show you my lizard.

I saw a gila monster crawl under it.

Okay, I'm a liar. There isn't a gila monster under there.

Leatherbacks and tuataras are echoes from that era.

Salamanders have this amazing capacity to regenerate.

I've been trying to sleep, but it's a little difficult with all those lizards all over the ceiling.

The same is true when we looked at this lizard running on fluidized sand.

'These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,

'These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,

These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,

These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,

This is not different from what my former undergraduate discovered when she figured out how lizards can run on water itself.

There's no dinosaurs yet just this slow, saurian, scaly, nasty, swampy place with a couple of tiny mammals hiding in the fringes.

That's an 18 inch long skull of an animal that was probably seven or eight feet, sprawled like a lizard, probably had a head like a lion.

I studied marine iguanas at that point.

Now, as a politician myself, standing in front of you, or indeed, meeting any stranger anywhere in the world, when I eventually reveal the nature of my profession, they look at me as though I'm somewhere between a snake, a monkey and an iguana, and through all of this, I feel, strongly, that something is going wrong.

Here comes the fence... until here...

How's, everyone?

Fence.

You've been working on the front hedge!

And a fence around every tree.

Well, that's what comes of tying yourself down to one family.

Her groom is on the fence.

Going down to the hedge.

I painted the fence green.

The fence has them. He's bringing the dough.

Well, I see nice homes with yards and fences.

They started clipping the hedge.

My father put a fence around the garden.

The white picket fence, the perfect house.

I couldn't imagine otherwise

Was that the first time that you ever asked him to come inside the fence?

Didn't you ever ask him to come inside the fence before?

Do you see me on the other side of this fence?

The Cap'n says it's like spellin' to a fence post.

So I tracked down one of the folks who makes these things, this guy in Mali just outside of Bamako, and I asked him, How come you're making fractal fences? Because nobody else is.

Look, there's a great big hunk of world down there with no fence around it.

Well if you're going to work on the hedge, why don't you go?

So it's a real desert for not only for the penguins and the sea lions and the marine iguanas ...

We'll go around back... and crawl under the fence at the rear of the lot.

They've been on about the fence again.

But here in Africa, you've got these nonlinear scaling fences.
