With the big picture is hard to see it. I minimized and there it was. :)

Ki, it was VERY hard to make this solvable... hence the contrasting "background" along the bottom. I wanted to highlight the beautiful pattern on these animals.

I love lizards!

Wow. That was a tough solve. I couldn't really make out the image when I was done. But when I backed up several feet from the computer, the image popped! Really nice, Robyn.

At first I thought it would be a horrible horned beast (after I completed the tail), then it started to look like a fat calico cat, and I thought maybe the joke was that it was monstrous to the field mice. Then I read the description, and saw the lizard. :)

It was tedious but solvable with only using edge logic. Being an Arizonan, I recognized what it was immediately.

I thought the tail was a horn, too. Thought it was going to be a bighorn sheep. :)

Almost to the end I thought it was some kind of globe. I really like the image. It was a tough puzzle and I did have to guess twice. Very well don.

One of my favorite animals.
They hiss, sleep, bite, lay around in the sun, and are quick to anger. Very much me when I shed my human flesh and revert to my lizard form.
(I'm a southern AZ lizard, myself.)

Love your comment, Emimonster. I'm a Zonie too. :-)
