Uromastyx aegyptia microlepis
The day after I spotted a large yellow Dhub near Camp Arifjan, Kuwait (can be seen at: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/211...), I returned to the same area and witnessed what appeared to be the same large Dhub establishing territorial dominance (my amateur assessment) over another smaller one. /-----/ In the first picture, you can see the large (more yellow) Dhub running towards a smaller one that just came out of its underground burrow. /-----/ In the second picture, you can see that the large one rammed the smaller one, causing it to flip onto its backside. /-----/ In the third picture the larger one is moving into the smaller ones former burrow. /-----/ In the fourth picture, the larger one has gone inside the burrow, with only its head showing out, as the smaller looks on from just outside the burrow.
