Lizards of the world

[BorneanTiger]

@Rishi @Dipro Since this thread was a question about a lizard species (which got answered), and there is no thread dedicated for lizards in general, I hope that you don't me posting information on other lizards here:

Anderson's Rock Agama (Acanthocercus adramitus) is found in the mountainous areas of southern Arabia, from the Sarat Mountains (or Sarawat) of western Saudi Arabia and Yemen (where it would coexist or co-occur with Acanthocercus yemensis), through the Hadhramaut or Mahrat Mountains of eastern Yemen, to the Dhofar Mountains of southern Oman. The genus Acanthocercus is endemic to the Arabian Peninsula and Africa, and is within the family Agamidæ. This family has over 300 species of iguanian lizards in Africa, Asia, Australia and southern Europe, with many species often being called "dragons" or "dragon lizards": https://www.iucnredlist.org/search?taxon...pe=species, https://reptile-database.reptarium.cz/ad...mit=Search
