A Desert Dish

Here is something quite strange. Not everybody can look at a lizard and think of how tasty they can be but in the pictures you see a man catching a lizard to do just that. Their population is large enough for people to hunt them down for food. Desert is their habitat and it is quite common to hunt them for food. It is sad that they are killed just for their tails and one can only hope that this killing doesn’t lead to their extinction.

These lizards can be found in the desert, hiding under rocks. You will see how their tails are used to make a dish. The rest of the body gets wasted. They are cooked in a pot along with vegetables and rice. Although they don’t look very appetizing, in places where food is scarce, I suppose this is like a luxury.
