It was destined, however, to meet with interruption from another quarter. Francois, whose quick eyes were wandering about, suddenly exclaimed, "Look brothers, look! A scorpion-lizard!" Basil and Lucien cast their eyes where Francois pointed up to the trunk of a tree that rose over the spot where the chameleon was crawling.
The birds, however, who made that nest had deserted it; for it was now occupied by a creature of a far different kind a scorpion-lizard whose red head and brown shoulders at the moment protruded from the hole.

The scorpion-lizard, with his red head and olive-brown body, is a hideous-looking reptile at best; but when thus peering from his gloomy tree-cave, moving his pointed snout from side to side, his dark eyes glancing all the while with a fierce, malignant expression, it is difficult to conceive a more vicious-looking creature.
