Whilst birdwatching in
the Abha area, in the mountains of southwest Saudi Arabia, Munzir came across an
Anderson’s Rock Agama. This species is endemic to the Arabian Peninsula, where
it is found in west and south Arabia, from Taif (Saudi Arabia) in the north to
Dhofar (Oman) in the east. It is found to around 2,000 metres above sea level.
It is common in Saudi Arabia where it is a rock dwelling lizard mainly present
in mountainous areas. I thank Munzir for sending me the photo that he has
kindly allowed me to use on my website.
