- The first
five photographs are of an adult Common
Wall Lizard Podarcis muralis
having a bite to eat. The unfortunate prey (believed to be a Bow-winged Grasshopper Chorthippus biguttulus
- the diagnostic identification features are not visible from this
unfamiliar perspective) was grabbed right in front of the photographer.
When this image is enlarged further the tiny and apparently rather sharp
teeth on the lower jaw of the lizard become visible. The photographs were
taken at the Cirque de Gavarnie in the Haute-Pyrenees, France.
