Mark encounters a feisty shingleback lizard on his first expedition to Western Australia! Unfortunately, the poor lizard is absolutely covered in blood sucking ticks…so Mark risks his fingers to try to remove them one by one. Will he take a bite while trying to help this blue tongue skink?
He better hope so - because these armored lizards bite hard!
