Description

The spiny-tailed monitor is part of an exclusively Australian radiation of small monitor lizards, the subgenus Odatria. They have strong claws and jaws as you can see !
He eats small lizards, mainly geckos and skinks and insects. When attacking prey the tail is used like a whip.
It hides in rock crevices when threatened, using the spines on its tail to wedge itself in and making it extremely difficult for a predator to dislodge. It is mainly terrestrial but sometimes lives inside tree hollows.
