Tawny Dragon
Ctenophorus decresii
''Ctenophorus decresii'', also known as the Tawny Dragon, is a species of lizard commonly found in Australia.
They are a member of the Ctenophorus genus of lizards, which is a very diverse group of lizards found throughout the world. The entire genus of lizards is sexually dimorphic. Neck and overall coloration distinguishes male lizards from female and juvenile lizards.
Most often C. decresii are found in rocky areas throughout Australia. However, their habitat varies as they are found in a few distinct locations throughout Australia. Scientists have identified the different populations of lizards as separate lineages due to their geographic isolation. The three lineages of C. decresii are the northern, southern, and NSW lineages. The entire Ctenophorus genus maintains a generally constant body shape, adapted for the Australian climate.
