They were one of the most memorable early monsters of the Jon Pertwee era- the hibernation emergent intelligent reptilians, the Silurians- soon shocked to hear that mankind has become the dominant species of their planet during their sleepy-byes absence.
This is a great close-up pic of one of the Silurians, presumably taken for photography linked to Jon Pertwee's first season publicity shot alongside a host of memorable monsters (including a Yeti and a hodge-podge assembled Cyberman). Though their Sea Devil cousins got in on the act, it was a shame that the Silurians didn't return again for another intriguing and serious sequel story from Malcolm Hulke later in Pertwee's time.
