East African spiny-tailed lizard

The East African spiny-tailed lizard (''Cordylus tropidosternum'' common name: dwarf sungazer), also known as the tropical girdled lizard, is an arboreal or rupicolous (rock-dwelling) lizard found in dry forests of East Africa. They range from the southern coast of Kenya to eastern Zimbabwe and central Mozambique. It is a diurnal. They lay down fat reserves in preparation for the dry season.
==Description==

Tropical girdled lizards are brown above with dark brown and cream spots or thin dark bands. A conspicuous black stripe runs along both sides of the neck from the ear to the shoulders. The lips, throat, and belly are cream. The tail is very spiny. Adults are 160–190 mm in length. Males have slightly wider heads than females (the length of a males’ head is about 1.25 times the width whereas the length of a females head is about 1.33 times the width) and are aggressive toward other males of the same species. Both sexes have femoral pores.
Tropical girdled lizards are almost identical to the Limpopo girdled lizard (''Cordylus jonesii'') and the Ukinga girdled lizard (''Cordylus ukingensis''). Limpopo girdled lizards have smooth scales on the throat and belly (''C. tropidosternum'' has keeled scales) and its nostril is in the center of the nasal scale (the nostril of ''C. tropidosternum'' is positioned in the lower posterior corner of the nasal scale). The Ukinga girdled lizard has distinctive white lips, a small ridge over each eye (supraocular ridge) and the loreal scale is fused with the preocular scale (they are separate in ''C. tropidosternum'' and ''C. jonesii'').
