Stunt Lizard

I've been living in Florida for 7+ years now and I'm still not used to the large volume of lizards I come across on a daily basis. I walk into my backyard and see at least 5 run for cover, I had a baby lizard no longer than my pinky finger in my kitchen this morning and this afternoon I encountered my first ever 'stunt lizard.'

I was driving home for lunch - on the I-4 on ramp - and out of nowhere a lizard jumped onto my driver side window. It proceeded to crawl up to the front window, where it stayed there clinging for dear life while my car, Betty, accelerated to 65 mph. The lizard started to fly off to the side of the car and it's tail was flapping like crazy in the wind; however, the lizard was smarter than I thought and reached out to grab it's tail. While holding it's tail with one hand we eventually slowed down and it was able to jump for safety.

Wild lizard day!
