Tasman’s Girdled Lizard

Cordylus tasmani

Tasman’s Girdled Lizard occurs only in a limited area of the Eastern Cape, around (and on islands in) Algoa Bay. Here it lives in dead aloes and trees and on rocky outcrops and subsists on a diet of insects and other invertebrates. These are small lizards, growing to only about 7cm (tail excluded). Tasman’s Girdled Lizard is considered by some authorities, including the IUCN, to be a form of the more widely spread Cape Girdled Lizard.
