Monitor lizards are renowned for their sturdy limbs but it’s that tail you have to watch out for! The tails can account for, typically, half of the lizard’s body length, and give you a good whipping. When confronted, monitor lizards try to puff themselves up as much as possible, making themselves appear larger and more threatening. They stand upright on all legs, puffing up their lungs, flattening their back, making a hissing sound, and some will also sway from side to side. As a final protective measure, they open their mouths as far as they can. If approached, the monitor…

Opal stones are always incredible to see, and this one is no exception. This is a Boulder Opal that’s known as the ‘Rainbow Tree’ From Queensland, Australia and it’s pretty amazing. It’s so astounding to witness this natural piece of crystal, created from the Earth. Most crystals, like this opal, are formed by the molecules in a liquid that hardens as they cool down. Gemstones like diamonds, rubies, and emeralds, are made from cooling magma that cools down slowly and then hardens. We all remember that diamonds are highly sought after and this is mainly because they are harder to…
