Weapontail
The Weapontail or Brazilian spiny-tailed lizard (''Hoplocercus spinosus'') is a lizard belonging to the monotypic genus ''Hoplocercus''.〔 It is found in the Cerrado and adjacent Cerrado–Amazon mosaics in Brazil and Bolivia.〔 It is a quite distantly related of the other members of Hoplocercidae, as it is believed to have diverged from these about 35 million years ago.〔 As suggested by its name, it has a short, highly spiny tail (it is superficially similar to ''Uromastyx'' and the smaller species in ''Ctenosaura''); when disturbed, it retreats to its burrow with the tail orientated towards the entrance.〔 It is nocturnal, and feeds on arthropods.〔 ==References==
