Lizard
Other than herpetologists, few people would list a lizard as their favourite animal. Shrieks of fear or revulsion are more likely. But this lizard silhouette, bereft of its perceived grotesque features, presents a pleasing portrait. There it sits in the dark night, waiting, watching for the slight draft of wings to hawk insects within reach.
