]]> Comment on National Geographic Emerging Nature Photographer by A Rainbow of Lizards in the Mediterranean – National Geographic News Watch http://jorisvanalphen.com/blog/national-geographic-emerging-nature-photographer/#comment-2268 A Rainbow of Lizards in the Mediterranean – National Geographic News Watch Wed, 11 Apr 2012 13:29:01 +0000 http://jorisvanalphen.com/?p=2021#comment-2268 [...] Ibiza Wall Lizards are unique in other ways, too. Islands can be hard places to live, and animals have to take advantage of any food source they can. The lizards cope with the challenges of island life by drinking nectar and hunting insect pollinators. By traveling from flower to flower, they unwittingly become pollinators themselves! The lizards also eat fruit and travel significant distances before defecating the seeds, making them important seed dispersers for island plants. Most amazing of all, they turn on their own kind when food is scarce, making them frequent cannibals! For some stunning footage of Ibiza Wall Lizard behavior, check out the award-winning short film, which was produced by Dappen with Joris van Alphen, winner of the 2012 National Geographic Emerging Nature Photographer Award.
