My series of Alphabet Animals continues with the king of the jungle...

One of the reasons early Egyptians made such elaborate tombs was to keep the graves safe from jackals... like this vagrant.

My Alphabet Animals series of paintings continues with an iguana.  Back in college I had an iguana named Alex.  I once even composed a poem for him: Alex... in a cage of wire With small, odd hands he climbs up higher Long green fingers, sharp black nail Scaling upwards, followed by tail Does he want to be let free? Is his home like a penitentiary? I open his door but begin to doubt Because he stays in and sticks his tongue out.
