While in Eastern Kentucky this past weekend, I spotted a little eastern fence lizard in a woods clearing. I enjoy seeing these critters! Like the name suggests, they can be found on fences, but also on rocks, trees/stumps, sandy soils, etc. The 3rd image shows its range map.

Here’s another eastern fence lizard, a bigger one that I took pics of at Red River Gorge, also in Eastern Kentucky. This trail on Auxier Ridge has lots of sandstone, which these lizards love.

The highlighted river is the Brazos. While still under Mexican rule, many Anglo-Americans settled on and near the Brazos due to its fertile lands. During the Texas Revolution, independence was declared at Washington-on-the-Brazos, near the river, on March 2, 1836.

True! Citizens in US territories cannot vote in the general election for US president, but they can vote in the primaries. They also elect non-voting delegates to the House. These delegates can introduce bills and speak on the floor, but they cannot vote on the final legislation.

There's a lesser-known wall in Scotland, the Antonine Wall, stretching ~39 miles (63 km). Made of turf on a stone base, it was built to advance Roman control but abandoned due to military pressure from tribes, logistical challenges, and cost after about 20 years of occupation.

The highlighted country is Mozambique. It gained independence from Portugal in 1975. The country has a blend of influences from the Portuguese, Arab, and African traditions. Its flag is unique as it is the only national flag in the world to feature a modern firearm, an AK-47.

The Po is the highlighted river. Starting at its source in the Alps and flowing to its delta on the Adriatic, it is Italy’s longest river at 405 miles (652 km). In the Italian Campaign of WW2, the Germans put up a defensive line there, but the Allies broke through in April 1945.

The ruins of Ephesus are located in modern-day Turkey. Ephesus was important geographically to the Romans as it was located on Asia Minor's western coast at the mouth of the Cayster River, facilitating trade. Apostle Paul established a strong church there, converting many.

Ecuador exports the most bananas. Its dominance is thanks to factors like its ideal climate, volcanic soils, a mix of large plantations and small farms, low labor costs, etc. I also checked, and the bananas in my house right now have Ecuador stickers on them.
