Geocache Description:


(HR prijevod ispod)

Did you know that hiding in Croatia’s sunny meadows and rocky hills is a super-cool creature that looks like a snake… but isn’t? Meet the European Glass Lizard (Pseudopus apodus)—a legless lizard with a sneaky trick up its sleeve (or should we say, tail?).

Is it a Snake? Nope!

Even though it slithers like a snake, this lizard has a secret giveaway: it has eyelids (snakes don’t!) and tiny ear holes. Plus, if a predator grabs its tail, SNAP!—the tail breaks off and keeps wiggling to distract the enemy while the lizard escapes! Don’t worry, though—the tail grows back, just like a superhero’s healing power!

Sunbathing Lizard Alert!

Glass lizards love warm, sunny spots, just like the perfect hiding place for this geocache. They’re shy but speedy, so if you see one, consider yourself lucky—it’s like spotting a nature ninja!

Your Mission:
This cache is hidden in a spot a glass lizard would love—maybe under a rock, near some bushes, or tucked into a cozy crack. Be as stealthy as a lizard, look carefully, and… happy hunting!

This cache can be combined with a visit to the beautiful arboretum, but it is not placed inside the arboretum.


Nevjerojatna Europska Sljepićka – Hrvatska Tajna "Zmija"!

Hej, mladi istraživači! Znate li da se po sunčanim livadama i kamenitim brežuljcima Hrvatske skriva superkul stvorenje koje izgleda kao zmija... ali zapravo nije? Upoznajte Europskog sljepićka (Pseudopus apodus) – beznogu guštericu s lukavim trikom u rukavu (ili bolje rečeno, u repu!).

Je li to zmija? Ne!

Iako se gmiže poput zmije, ovaj gušter ima tajni znak po kojem ćete ga prepoznati: ima kapke (zmije nemaju!) i malene ušne otvore. A ako ga grabežljivac uhvati za rep – ŠKLJOC! – rep se odlomi i nastavi se migoljiti kako bi zbunio neprijatelja, dok gušter pobjegne! Ne brinite, rep mu ponovo naraste, baš kao superherojsko iscjeljivanje!

Pozor na Guštera koji se sunča!

Sljepićki vole topla, sunčana mjesta – baš kao savršeno skrovište za ovaj geocache. Sramežljivi su, ali brzi, pa ako ga ugledate, smatrajte se sretnima – to je kao da ste vidjeli nindžu prirode!

Vaša misija:
Ovaj cache skriven je na mjestu koje bi sljepićku bilo savršeno – možda ispod kamena, pokraj grma ili u udubini. Budite tihi kao gušter, pažljivo tražite i... sretno lovljenje!

Savjet za cache: Kao što je sljepićkov rep lukav, tako je i ovaj cache – ali neće pobjeći! 🦎🔍

(P.S. Sljepićka se u nekim dijelovima Hrvatske naziva i "sljepak" ili "očnjak", ali znanstveno ime mu je Pseudopus apodus!)

Ovaj cache se može kombinirati s posjetom prekrasnom arboretumu, ali se ne nalazi unutar arboretuma.
