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.
