one healthy lizard

After five weeks of treatment and specialist care at Kanyana Wildlife hospital, this bobtail came home looking like a different lizard.  Instead of the lethargy of a typical bobtail 'flu victim, it was alert, active and showing a good defensive response.  The eyes were clear and bright.  And look at those glossy scales and that lovely fat tail!

Here's the photo from the original post "one sick bobtail" (28th September), plus a close-up of the tail in its emaciated state, so you can see the difference that treatment made to this reptile.

Kudos to Kanyana Wildlife for brilliant work in their treatment and care of native animals.  You too can help out our native animals by following Kanyana's first aid for wildlife guidelines, becoming a volunteer carer, or by donation.
