Pippan Cream of the Crop  More info | Sep 25, 2020 06:17 | #258 Frill-necked lizard, aka blanket lizard, Chlamydosaurus kingii, on the Tabletop Range, Litchfield National Park, pretending to be an ironwood trunk. If you look really closely at the second image, you can see the reflection in its eye of our minibus parked at the side of the road on which the lizard had earlier been warming itself.

Pippan Cream of the Crop More info | Thanks Charles. My wife and I were just talking about that, also wondering what it is. I suspect it might be some sort of heat sensor but I'll have to get back to you on that one. Don't touch that dial! Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

Pippan Cream of the Crop More info | OK, Internet was useless, I had to consult a big, thick book (Cogger). Evidently what's in the blue circle is an exposed tympanum, like frogs have, a membrane that transmits sound vibrations to the inner ear. So what's in the red circle? Dunno yet, but stay tuned ... Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

Inspeqtor wrote in post #19129767 P.S. I googled "Cogger definition" and got this: : a cheat or deceiver especially at dice : sharper sometimes : a false fawning person : sycophant, flatterer. cogger. noun (2) \ " \ plural -s. Nope no help!!!! LOL LOL, poor Harold. I've never come across that sense of cogger. No, 'Cogger' is Reptiles and Amphibians of Australia by Harold G. Cogger, Reed Books, 1975. It's the definitive reference for Australian reptiles. Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

Tympanum = eardrum. Wherever the tympanum is, I'd call that place an ear. I believe the blue circle is the visible part of the kind of ear that this animal has. The red circle, dunno, it looks like a stray leaf or something.

The red circle, dunno, it looks like a stray leaf or something. Can I disagree with you? I think the red circle area is a "hole" in the side of the lizard, thus an ear..... not a leaf Charles
