Loved the look of this site...most interesting, although the 'lizard' is clearly a fox or maybe a dog!

.Joris Peters and Schmidt did a paper (2004 ) on the animals at Gobekli Tepe plenty snakes but no Lizards and I don't think any have been noted since .

Most of the animals depicted there are "dangerous:" either predators or biting things (scorpian, snake, vulture). A few birds. The ones we liked particularly seem to be death or spirit images with very prominent rib cages and heads kind of like skulls; skeletal. Weird.

It was nice that the author mentioned the Balikli Gol Snowman. World's oldest known freestanding statue.
