      I was happy to capture them. The filming could have been better, but that is how it goes when you have to quickly get some footage on a cellphone😀I need to get more steady with it when I zoom it in. It really amplifies my movements when it's zoomed in.
      I thought I'd try to pair it with some music and give it a little narration to make it a little more interesting.

    They hide very well. The rocks hold the heat they like

    • @agesadventures
      @agesadventures  3 месяца назад

      They are excellent at hiding. Once the scurry away, it is hard to see them when they've found a hiding spot.
      Yeah, that one particular rock, I often see them up there sunning themselves. It's a great spot for them.

    Lizards? They are quite beautiful! Surprised they survive winters.

    • @agesadventures
      @agesadventures  3 месяца назад +1

      Yeah, it's amazing that they survive. I guess they find a nice rock or big log to hide under and then hibernate.
      They make lots of noise on the ground when running on the leaves to get away and hide.
      Cool little guys to see on the trail😀

    Cool! I've never seen a lizard here yet. Snakes and turtles but never a lizard. I think there are a couple species of lizard found here on the big island but haven't really researched it lately.

    • @agesadventures

      We have the invasive European Wall Lizard which escaped (or let loose) from a reptile zoo. You can read a little bit about that here: www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/environment/plants-animals-and-ecosystems/invasive-species/alerts/european_wall_lizard_alert.pdf
      I have not seen our native Alligator Lizard yet.

      They blend it quite well!
      Once you know what you're looking for (and expecting to see one) they are easier to spot.
      The trick is to not scare them because they can be quite quick to run away.

  • @chrisbentleywalkingandrambling

    Beautiful. I wonder why they are called European? Did we import them? Random question I know. Thanks for sharing Age.

    • @agesadventures
      @agesadventures  3 месяца назад +1

      It may be just called European in Canada. We've got to blame someone for them, lol😂
      They are also known as Common Wall Lizards.
      They came from a Reptile Zoo and they got released into the environment (they don't know if it was accidental or on purpose). It is believed that these originated from Italy.
      They have certainly thrived over the years and are expanding their territory.

    Really nice find. It is incredibly. I’m surprised you have these all the way up north in Canada. I would think they’d be in a warmer climate. 👍27

    • @agesadventures
      @agesadventures  3 месяца назад

      I would have thought a warmer climate too, but these things seem to know when to hibernate.
      These particular ones are actually an invasive species from Italy that escaped or were released from on old reptile zoo here.
      We do have a native species, the Alligator Lizard, that live here as well.
      It's always cool to see these guys on the trail.

    You got those on video very well. Nice looking lizards. Fast guys. Too bad we don't have those. I guess it's too cold here. Of course it's warm in the summer. It was almost 30 degrees Celsius today. It's a bit strange that it's already September.

    • @agesadventures
      @agesadventures  3 месяца назад

      These are an invasive animal let go from a reptile zoo many years ago.
      They seem to hibernate during the winter. We've had some colder winters here (though not as cold as where you are😀).
      That seems like a warm day there!

    Are these the same lizards that we see running rampant throughout the city ? The second one seemed to have a much proportionally longer
    tail than the ones I see scurrying around my place .

    • @agesadventures
      @agesadventures  3 месяца назад

      Yes, these are the same ones. They are all over the place now!
      Maybe the second one has never dropped his tail so it looks longer than the others. I read that when they drop their tails and it grows back that it is not as long.
      It's amazing how well these guys have spread through the years.

    @scootladychicago 3 месяца назад +1

    cool capture, age! definitely pretty cool. did you know what kind of lizard it was when you came across it? also sounds like they might be a bit far from home. 😉 it's hard to tell scale, any guess as to how long tip to tail? i hope you're having a great week age! 🛴❤

    • @agesadventures
      @agesadventures  3 месяца назад

      I've come across these a number of times. I did know this time which one they were.
      We have this invasive species of lizard (European Wall Lizard also known as the Common Wall Lizard) and the native species of Alligator Lizard. I'm not sure I've seen the native ones. They hide more.
      They believe these ones European Wall Lizards are native to Italy.
      I would say from tip to tail they were 6 inches and maybe a little bit longer.
      So far, so good this week😁 I hope you're having a great week as well, Anne😀

      There was a reptile zoo here that they were released from. I'm not sure if they escaped or were released when the zoo went out of business.
      They have spread quite well and outcompete the native Alligator Lizards that we have here.
      I guess these guys are part of the environment now.
      I think they are neat to see.
