lizards everywhere in Ghana

mostly huge orange headed ones. They would just chill out and sunbathe while I walked to class. But here's a cute story of this little guy:

(look, no tail!)

He was being chased round the beautiful, ecotourist Green Turtle Lodge in Akwidee by a huge, impetuous dog. At one point, mr. lizard was so frightened that he lost his tail and scampered up my leg. I held the sweet, shivering thing for about an hour until it started to rain huge droplets. So I dropped him off deep into the woods, placing him under a big umbrella leaf.
