In honor of the return of Game of Thrones (and Khaleesi’s dragons) this weekend, I offer up this slightly less menacing beast — a Boyd’s forest dragon. These guys live in the rainforests of Queensland, Australia. They are sit-and-wait predators, preferring to remain motionless until an unsuspecting insect wanders by.

Sean, I love the way the foliage – that is, the tree trunk and green fronds leading to the right, almost mirrors the “design” of the dragon’s spiked back. Nice capture!

Huge eyes, compact body, long tail…charmingly cartoonish.
