Skittering Lizards and Vocabulary Development

Word of the Day: skitter (on 2-27-2010) The sentence used that day was:

The area was populated by countless tiny lizards that would skitter away when approached.

I just loved that sentence. It reminded me of the anoles in Jamaica and Florida.

Here's a link:

skitter

Here's a YouTube video on anoles:

Remember, the "Word of the Day," box changes every day.

skitter discuss
Definition:	(verb) To move rapidly along a surface, usually with frequent light contacts or changes of direction; skip or glide quickly.
Synonyms:	scamper, scurry, scuttle
Usage:	The area was populated by countless tiny lizards that would skitter away when approached.

This anole is not skittering. It's more of a relaxing, lumbering anole, but, the video is peaceful.

"What is Economic Botany?"

"Simply put, Economic Botany is the interaction of people with plants. The word is based on two Greek roots ethnos (race: people: cultural group) and botanikos (of herbs) and can mean the plant lore of a race or people as well as the study of that lore."
