Shovel-snouted Lizard

Field Notes
Description:
The shovel-snouted lizard performs a "thermal dance" when the sand becomes too hot for its feet. It props itself up on its tail, lifts a front foot and back foot, holds them up for a while and finally exchanges them with the opposite pair. The dance is repeated over and over again until the sand cools down a bit.
