Spinytail Lizards

Augrabies National Park, SOUTH AFRICA

Augrabies National Park, SOUTH AFRICA

This photo was taken after a snake had attacked this lizard; we scared the snake off when we came upon the scene. The snake was large and yellow - possibly a snouted cobra. This lizard "rested" for a while, then appeared to recover and moved off.

Several specimens seen in a rocky area SE of Khabane Cave, Mlawula Nature Reserve. This one collected, with Transvaal Museum?

Identified by National Museum (D. Broadley) Probably accidentally introduced from eastern highlands or Gonarezhou National Park. Nearest locality is Mutare
