Ctenophorus caudicinctus
Very small lizard with a habit of waving one front leg when he stops. Darts around really fast.
Spotted in Lawn Hill Natinal Park racing around among the rocks
Very cute critter.
This one sure did a lot of waving! Was quite funny to watch. Took so many photos trying to capture it but it was too fast
You're Welcome Kerry. Indeed. I was perplexed. Maybe these wave too although I couldn't find that.
Thanks S Frazier. Was told by the locals that it was a Ta Ta Lizard and the fact that it waved every time it stopped made me believe them. I will edit the spotting.
Very interesting! I read that Ta Ta lizard is another name for Gilbert’s Dragon,
Amphibolurus gilberti and the range and behavior sure fits the bill but I haven't seen an image that matches. It looks like the suggestion species. Then I found this quote "Looks like a ring tailed dragon Mick (Ctenophorus caudicinctus) but most people I know call them ta-ta's even though they're not really ta-ta's." on http://www.ausph.com/showthread.php/1656...
