OllieShingleback Lizard - Tiliqua rugosa
Shingleback Lizards are one of those Australian Animals which make you think, it made me think. Look at the animal and you know what I mean.
If you glance at the reptile you couldn't tell where front or back is. With the stubby stump and a similar head shape, I'm sure it confuses a lot of predators. These lizards are among the largest of the Australian skinks which can weigh 600 to 900 grams.
The bulkiest of the blue-tongues, the Shingleback Lizard are common on the plains west of the Great Dividing Range where rainfall is low and throughout the semi-arid habitats of inland Australia as well as coastal parts of Western Australia and South Australia. (Text Source: Australian Museum)
