Kakadu and Territory Wildlife

The gentle stuff first. Susan and I found the Ta Ta Lizard a charming little chap. When he runs and stops - he immediately lifts a front leg and waves it in the air for several seconds. Who knows why? but it is cute as Susan says.
His larger cousin on the other hand

is a lot more threatening. This fellow put the wind up me as I sat taking photos of him. I distinctly remember telling Tony DeGroot my fishing mate, " Tony, I'm getting bloody scared here!" his Territorian comment, "No he's alright mate!" My response to that was, "Well I'm very @#$^^ scared, get me out of here!" Moments after this shot was taken he took off into the water in front of the boat showering us both with mud.
I was much more comfortable with this pair.

As you can imagine, with Kakadu a wild life preserve, there is a wide diversity of bird and animal life.
There are many pairs of Jabiru and this is probably the reason the town was called Jabiru.
