Maybe! To find them you have to basically almost touch them, or they will stay hidden. Their camouflage is better than any other animal I have seen in real life. They are usually found on bare earth patches, or ground sparsely covered in vegetation, because they camouflage with the soil. They look like tiny dinosaurs, and it is pretty amazing they exist here. I love them so much!
