The Egyptian Spiny Tailed Lizard (Uromastyx aegyptia) lives in the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East. Although it can withstand the extreme daytime temperatures, it will also find refuge in cooler subterranean burrows.

[id: a drawing of the pokemon flygon in the desert with their 8 trapinch babies, one of whom is a shiny. the flygon says, "children, this is dirt." all of the trapinches say "dirt?" individually.

underneath is a screenshot of a tumblr post. user spacesnek posts a photo of a lizard in a desert with many small babies, similar to the drawing. the caption is "An amazing photo showing the Egyptian Uromastyx (u. aegyptia) and her hatchlings. Photo taken by Karan Soni!"

user skies-of-salt comments "Too much cute."

user sealedbeastnue comments "Children This is Dirt. dirt?dirt? dirt?dirt?dirt? dirt? dirt? dirt? dirt?" end id]

Spiny tailed lizard 🦎. Uromastyx is a genus of African and Asian agamid lizards, the member species of which are commonly called spiny-tailed lizards, uromastyces, mastigures, or dabb lizards. Lizards in the genus Uromastyx are primarily herbivorous, but occasionally eat insects and other small animals, especially young lizards. They spend most of their waking hours basking in the sun, hiding in underground chambers at daytime or when danger appears. They tend to establish themselves in hilly, rocky areas with good shelter and accessible vegetation.
