Blotched Blue-Tongue Lizard, Tiliqua nigrolutea
Entdeckt in Collins Vale, Tasmanien.
The Blotched Blue-tongued lizard is the largest lizard species occurring in Tasmania. A heavy-bodied, short-limbed species with a short, tapering tail. The head is large and distinct from the neck, and the face is usually cream to orange in colour. The body pattern usually consists of paler bands or blotches on a dark background. Blotched Bluetongues in Tasmania grow to a head and body length of about 30 cm, the tail is about 12-15 cm long. Males usually have a relatively shorter body and broader head than females. These lizards get their name from the broad, blue tongue which is extended during the threat display, and constantly flicked out while the lizard is hunting.
