"Lizards survive in some of the most hostile environments on earth, swamps, rainforests, woodlands and deserts. With an extraordinary covering of skin and scales this is made possible. In this short mini-documentary (THE LEGENDARY LIZARD.... ), by Brandon Gifford, the chase is on. Chasing a wild, heated up cranky lace monitor (goanna) over the countryside whilst exploring their sensational three layers of skin and scales, and what they're used for. Hiding from predators, to attracting the girls, lizards diverse array of shields and colours are a proven success. However like all reptiles the outermost layer (epidermis) must be shed, ridding them of parasites such as tics.

With active presentation and fun facts this film orchestrates the incredible, 'LEGENDARY LIZARD....'"
