AKP 1973 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.
