Korazim

by haiamisa - last update: Mar 10, 2006

Korazim National Park

On the synagogue stairs
These are the remains of a Jewish town mentioned in the Babylonian Talmud (Menahot 85/A) and renowed for the good wheat grown there. The place has some meaning also for christians.
A beautiful agama

Agamas

You can meet many agamas on the rocks. These lizards are about 30cm length. The male likes to stand on guard, keeping on eye on the world and possible dangers. The territory of the male is usually about 10 meters diameter and he has up to four wives and kids in this area.

 Great photos and information - I love the photo of Lake Tiberius/bee hives ... and the hyraxes! Very interesting reading about your home town and the Mt. Hermon area. I've only seen it from a distance.
