Thursday March 22 - Challapata
Another day spent watching the talented lizard.
He had spent the night in a Festuca clump and
we couldn't see him at the time his temperature
started shooting up. There was very nice
weather, and when the storm descended we
herded the lizard back towards camp and some
of his old haunts. He ended up voluntarily going
into his Pyrenophylla mat (#2).
A couple of native dogs have taken to coming
around camp to explore the garbage fats etc. We hear
two groups of Tinamotis calling every morning - from
different hill sides. And during the day we quite commonly
see little Balapys - in fact there was one in the
tent for a while yesterday.
The coral area, where I have sort of been
watching the lizard ad trod population has one
resident of Liolemus (who lives under a rock
with a spider), and 2 females of adult size who
have been seen in the area
Altogether 6 males in
this area, 3 females, and
several young. Females
can't relate about area
in which they are found.
