Macaques? What about us?
By oldcoot • Jun 17th, 2008 • Category: Leisure
Everybody knows about the famous colony of monkeys (they are actually Macaques) that live on the rock and, according to legend, ensure the continued presence of the British.
But what about the less obvious wild life that abounds there?
Apart from birds, some of the most colourful animals are very small and are in the lizard family. This skink was spotted roaming in the shade (which was probably why it was a little slow in running away) and, even though it is possible to see the pattern on its skin, only a photograph can let you enjoy the full range of colours.
While it is very amusing watching the macaques, don’t ignore the other wild life that can be equally delightful and help make your stay even more enjoyable.
