The Moroccan uromastyx (Uromastyx acanthinurus nigriventris) is more commonly known in its homeland and in Europe as the Moroccan dabb or “eyed” lizard. The eye refers to the eye-like spots commonly found on the backs of most members of the Uromastyx genus. Like all uromastyx, it is a predominately vegetarian, ground-dwelling lizard and occupies the semi-arid to near-desert scrublands common to northern Africa. It is a relatively large, robust species that on first impression reminds many people of a tortoise without a shell, sporting a spiky tail
The tail in particular is what most people first notice. Making up a little over one third to just under a half of their total body length, the tail is often dorsolaterally flattened to 2½ times as wide as it is thick. It is edged in distinct rows of up to quarter- to half-inch-long rosebush-like thorns, with the spikes being longest along the sides. This tail is articulated to allow the lizard to twist and angle it to best fend off its main predators: ground snakes and birds of prey. The tail can even be pulled up into a forward half-curl and then raked down the sides of a restraining mouth (or hand) to great effect! The tortoise-like head sports heavy jaw muscles suitable for both biting off tough vegetation or delivering vice-like bites to perceived threats. While the bite can be quite painful, uromastyx have short teeth, designed more for cutting than tearing. Thus, while their bites are certainly unpleasant, they rarely actually draw blood. Think of it more like getting your hand briefly caught in a car door.
