qual por acaso era presidente – decidiu conceder-lhe a homenagem máxima, a Medalha Real, por um artigo que escrevera sobre um molusco extinto chamado belemnita. “Entretanto” como observa Deborah Cadbury na excelente história do período, Terrible lizard [Lagarto terrível], “esse trabalho não era tão original quanto parecia.”25 Os belemnítidas, ao que se revelou, haviam sido descobertos quatro anos antes por um naturalista amador chamado Chaning Pearce, e a descoberta fora plenamente…

na Noruega; 9, também com "schnorkel", que se encontravam em Brest e La Pallice, foram para o Canal da Mancha, entre a Ilha de Wight e Cherburgo, e 7, de Brest, sem "schnorkel", receberam ordens de procurar comboios de abastecimento entre os cabos Lizard e Start, na costa sul britânica. E 19 outros submarinos, de bases francesas, receberam ordens de tomar posições numa linha de patrulha através do Golfo de Biscaia, para enfrentar quaisquer desembarques por ali. Naquela noite…

Harker descreve um desses momentos no seu diário: “But my very feelings changed to repulsion and fear when I saw the whole man slowly emerge from the window and begin to crawl down the castle wall over that dreadfull abyss, face down (…) just as a lizard moves along a wall” (Stoker 47) Dracula é, ele próprio, uma personagem sobrenatural, opondo-se, claramente, às leis da natureza. Como já mencionámos, o sobrenatural é a chave para o incremento do terror nos romances góticos,…

snow, and found there two little lizards, half-frozen and buried in the snow. Being a lover of animals he picked them up, warmed them, and put them back into the hole in the wall which was reserved especially for them. He also gave them a few fronds of a little fern which was growing on the wall, and of which he knew they were very fond. In the dream he knew the name of the plant; Asplenium ruta muralis. The dream continued returning after a digression to the lizards, and to his…

utilizes psychological tactics and strategies that are unbeknowst to rational, logically thinking men. Acting, which is the fine art of camouflaging through confusion, is her favorite ploy. She could teach the chameleon a trick or two. This small lizard changes its colors to blend in with its surroundings, so it can't be eaten, and conversely, so it can eat. Men were not born with the ability to camouflage their "honest and open feelings". Women can, however, change their feelings or…

related to the green iguana of the South American continent, Galapagos land iguanas can be over three feet long, with males weighing up to 30 pounds. Their tough, scaly skin is yellow with scattered patches of white, black, brown, and rust. These lizards resemble mythical creatures of the past-dragons with long tails, clawed feet, and spiny crests. In reality, however, they are harmless. Land iguanas live in the drier areas of the islands and in the morning are found basking in the sun.…
