Australia has a well deserved reputation for vicious and poisonous creatures. While I was walking on the Cape to Cape track on Cape Naturaliste I came across this little guy, the Western blue-tongued lizard actually he's really a skink.
I am happy to report this species has no teeth and is non-poisonous, but I still wouldn't try to pet him. This one had a bad attitude and didn't enjoy the attention of a photographer.
