Summary

[edit]
Description The spiny-tailed monitor, also known as the ridge-tailed monitor, exists in a number of sizes and colors throughout northwestern Australia. The most notable characteristic of this species. The spikes ring the tail, directed backwards from the body, making it difficult to pull the monitor from a rocky crevice where it may be hiding. The tail is also useful in hunting, as the lizard is known to whip it around as a large, spiky club to attack prey.
