I think that llizard is culturally biassed! I wonder why people think fish are more evolved than lizards, and it is fine to eat fish, but not lizards. The arid conditions in Australia suited the evolution of reptiles, and there is great diversity among them. The aboriginals ate lizards, which were generally caught by hurling a non-returning boomerang at them as they ran, or using a spear. I have heard that they tast great, but have never tried them. I have eaten crocodile, which I did so that it would not eat me. Well, I ate part of it in a restaraunt. I found it boring, and I am not referring to its conversational abilities. Australians generally perform very well in Olympic swimming. This is because they are gentically selected. Every child is thrown in among the crocodiles, and the ones which can outswim the crocs are allowed to breed. Once llizard gets over his revulsion to the idea of eating lizards, we have an 8.7 metre crocodile (28 feet long) waiting for his culinary prowess. Unfortunately the government won't let us know where it is, as some nut would want to shoot it. I guess you will have to do with an 18 footer. BTW, does anybody have good pics of kangaroos?
