One of these things is not like the other...

Here is a scientific IQ test I have designed for Harley. Let us see if he passes!

One of these things is not like the other. Can you tell which is the fake bananer? Let's see if Harley can tell the difference!
He's studying the situation....
Hooray! Harley picked out the catnip bananer and passes the test!

Thursday Thirteen, Edition #22

Here are 13 things I have learned about lizards from my scientific study this week:
  1. They do not really enjoy being confined in the Lizard Observation Pen.
  2. Lizards love to do push-ups. I am very surprised that their arms are not more pumped-up.
  3. The closer you put your face to the lizard, the faster he moves! And lizards can move very very FAST.
  4. I was not able to hyp-no-tize the lizard. (I think the lizard knew I was going to put him in a pink dress and blond wig once he was hyp-no-tized).
  5. The lizard's tail does not fall off if you do not touch him.
  6. A lizard can do some good climbing on the mesh of the Lizard Observation Pen.
  7. The thing on their neck that puffs out is called a dew lap or throat fan. I like to call it a goiter.
  8. Lizards like to eat small insects and bugs. I would like to eat the lizard.
  9. Lizards do not like to nap when they are in the Lizard Observation Pen.
  10. When the lizard's tail breaks off, it continues to wiggle around! Just the tail!
  11. Lizards can bite, but their teeths are too tiny to hurt you.
  12. Their skin molts, but just in little pieces. So you can't get a lizard skin outfit from his molt.
  13. It is very hard to get a lizard into a harness and leash.
Notice how I did not refer to my lizard as George? That is because when he is a scientific research subject, the lizard cannot have a name. Except, maybe, "Scientific Subject A." This is so you can stay objective in your research. Besides, George never comes when called.

Scientific Lizard Study

LOOK! I have captured George! Now I am going to study him. Here he is in this scientifically designed Lizard Observation Pen. I have recreated his natural habitat (see the leaves?). I think he likes it in there! I am observing him closely. The first thing I noticed is that George's eyes are the same color as mine! I will jot this finding down in my scientific journal.
Being a lizard researcher involves many minutes of intense study.
I must observe and record his every move!
I believe in "paws-on" research methods.
I wanted to study many more things. For example, what does George taste like? How much force is required to make his tail disconnect? But Mommie said we had to let him go. So after less than 30 minutes of study, George was returned to the wild. Bye George! Thanks for letting me study you.
