Lizard that looks like a small dragon

Here is an armadillo lizard. It may look dangerous, but it is actually peaceful and timid.

This is what an armadillo lizard looks like, which is very similar to a small dragon.

Despite their menacing appearance, these lizards are peaceful and very timid. And they weigh no more than 100 grams.

When threatened, they curl up into a ring and bite their tail - thereby protecting their soft belly, exposing only their spiny back and tail.
