A patient, nature-oriented game of skill.
A patient, nature-oriented game of skill. Children search for common garden lizards (Anoles). They fashion a small slipknot at the end of a long, flexible blade of elephant grass or a coconut bough vein, gently sliding the loop over the lizard's head to catch it harmlessly.
