The Mexican Horse Thief and his main sidekick, Pedro are together, planning the
Muna Tau 100
km. While we do this we have the smallest Mexican with us. So began the
great lizard and gecko hunt, we wanted to impress the little Mexican
and add some more of the reptiles to his collection. You should know by
now that the Mexican Horse Thief has been catching reptiles for a few
decades and Pedro? Hell, just go look at the
photos
on the Muna Tau page. We are GREAT bushmen; we are confident of
success. We all venture into the veldt on the outskirts of Langebaan and
with due caution start lifting rocks. There are also
Cape Cobras in this area, responsible for more human deaths in Southern Africa than any other snake.
Later the light starts to fade and we are forced to admit defeat as
there is not one lizard to be found. The little Mexican, stout lad that
he is, takes this very well, no tears at all. Pedro reassures him that
we will feed the lizards at home instead. Pedro is a great fly catcher
and in no time he has a fly, rips one wing off, and shows his incredible
bravery by opening the lizard box and giving the fly to the most
vicious lizard. (Pedro has already been attacked by this animal on more
than one occasion!)
This is what legends are made of.
