iyo DENIZENS OF. THE DESERT 



The lizard's forelegs were folded tightly against 

 his sides and he appeared to be dead, but in a 

 few minutes he opened his eyes, tried first one 

 leg, then another; and then on seeing me he ran 

 off at top speed. I was truly surprised, for I did 

 not think that anything could go through the 

 experience of being half eaten and still live, 

 much less be able to run off immediately after- 

 wards."
