Desert Deserts Lizard Lizards Reptile Reptiles Rock Rocks South Africa South African Southern Africa Diurnal Ovoviviparous Spiny Tailed
EDITORS COMMENTS
Rockin' it in the African desert! This African Spiny-tailed Lizard knows how to strike a pose on its favorite rock. With its vibrant scales and unique spiky tail, this lizard is definitely a fashion icon of the reptile world. Found in the arid landscapes of South Africa, this adult lizard has mastered the art of blending into its rocky habitat. Looking like a true superstar, this diurnal reptile enjoys soaking up the warm February sun while perched on its chosen spot. The harsh desert environment doesn't faze our scaly friend as it confidently showcases its adaptability and resilience. Known for being ovoviviparous, meaning they give birth to live young instead of laying eggs, these lizards are truly extraordinary creatures. They belong to the Cordylidae family and are commonly referred to as Karoo Girdled Lizards due to their distinctive girdle-like appearance. As we admire this stunning photograph captured by Fabio Pupin from FLPA Images, let's take a moment to appreciate the wonders of nature found in Southern Africa. These incredible animals remind us that even in seemingly inhospitable places like deserts, life finds a way to thrive and bring joy with every scaly step.
