11. The Resilient Spiny-Tailed Lizard
Armor-Plated Survivor
The Spiny-Tailed Lizard, or Uromastyx, is equipped with a spiky tail and tough skin, offering protection from predators. These herbivorous lizards feast on desert vegetation and store fat in their tails for lean times. Their ability to dig burrows helps them escape the scorching sun and find shelter.
Heat Adaptation
Spiny-Tailed Lizards are thermoregulation experts. They bask in the sun to warm up and retreat to their burrows to cool down. Their capacity to survive in extreme temperatures makes them remarkable desert dwellers.
