Lithe lizards and, less often, fat brown geckos become more common the further south we go.
This makes up for the relative lack of visible sea life in the Mediterranean Sea compared to the Adriatic.
I don’t understand, though, why the lizards aren’t more interested in eating the ubiquitous fat ants. I watch one lizard sitting among a throng of them, one even climbing on its back.
Then I spot another lizard running off with a wedge of green grape left over from our lunch. Now that makes sense. I’d eat grapes in preference to ants any day.
