Wow...simply beautiful!
Thanks for these pics. I love its markings.
I'm surprised by how much its eyes and neck remind me of a snake. It, being a reptile, stands to reason though.
Omgoodness, what would you say is the purpose of its claws?
While I would definitely give it its space, I would love to have him as a backyard pet. But, on second thought it would feast on the garden greens, never mind. :+)
Again, thanks for sharing these beautiful pics!
Peace.
The claws are for burrowing, in winter they go underground, and they also need burrows for their eggs :)
Wow! Thanks @breezin!! This was extremely helpful knowledge. ✌!
LOL not sure if it is helpful, but thank you for your interest!
