It seems the Australian Bobtail lizard is in trouble. The are a lizard that can live seventy years and they are monogamous. And we are pushing them out and destroying their lives with our building and general urban sprawl.
Many are being brought into rescues because of injury, the result of our messing up their lives.

I really wonder what happens to a lizard that loses a mate. Do they choose another or do the grieve for the rest of their seventy years.
It is sad that an animal that is so harmless and lives so long is pushed aside by human interference. I wonder what goes through the mind of a lizard that lives so long.
