Lizardwings

“Look, what was that? I just saw something. It was weird it just flew past us, It didn't look like anything I've ever seen before. Did you see it?”

“It was probably a bird, we don't get exotic animals around here, unless maybe it was something escaped from the zoo d'you reckon?”

“Zoo? There's no zoo around here, it would have to fly for quite a while to get here. Anyway, it wasn't a bird, I know what a bird looks like. Oh there it is again, it just landed on that rock.”

“Ahh yea, I see it, that is odd looking, have you got those binoculars?... It looks a bit lizard-like from here. Lizards don't usually fly do they?”

“Really? Let's have a look. Oh yea, it does, it looks a little bit like that Skink my brother had, but no, they definitely don't fly, I would have remembered that. It looks like it does have wings on it's back though, see?”

“Damn, on it's back? Like extra to it's legs? How is that even possible? How can an animal evolve an extra set of limbs? We could have discovered a whole new species here!”

“We should try and get closer, have you got a camera or anything? This could be the biggest discovery of our lifetime.”

“I think we frightened it, where did it go? Maybe it just jumped down behind the rock, let's have a look.”

“No, it's definitely gone. That was cool though, shame we didn't get any pictures, but that was amazing.”

“God Almighty. Look over there? There's loads of them and they're flying this way and crap! Look at the size of that one!”

“Shit!”
