Hundreds of thousands of reptiles die on the seemingly never-ending stretches of tar which dissect the Australian outback. Snakes and Lizards drawn to the warm surface in the morning and evenings, especially during spring, coming up short against the numerous road trains and other vehicles making long journeys between towns.

 This individual, a Thorny Devil (Moloch horridus), was lucky enough to intersect our path, and we managed to move her out of the way of a road train which passed a few minutes later.
