Observaciones de andrasz

Coptodon zilli was suggested for other observations in the area, but I'm not sure that species can tolerate prolonged desiccation of the habitat. These gueltas will dry out in the spring, and will remain so until the next rains in September/October (if any, sometimes a year may go by without any rain).

After registering some movement in the background, I approached and realised it was a snake catching a lizard. This lucky shot was the only one I could take, on the click of the camera the snake let go, and both ran/slithered away in opposite directions. The lizard is probably A. scutellatus, don't know if it survived the venom.

With the head covered, I cannot D the snake species, but I'm reasonably sure it is some Sandsnake.
