Today we were lucky enough with my wife to take nice Pictures of Al Samakat al Sahra (“fish of the desert”). Here is one of them.
The Egyptian spiny-tailed lizard, Uromastyx aegyptius microlepis, is not easy to see in the sandy or gravely desert of Sharjah. The timid Dabb loves to bask in the sun near its burrow where he can hide quickly when approached. They usually live in loose colonies, in separate burrows some 20-50 meters apart.
They are capable of changing their colour with change in their body temperature, turning from black to white or yellow as they warm up
Hunting them was banned by a 1983 federal law, and trade is banned under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna.

Al Samakat al Sahra (âle poisson du desert”)
LâAgame Ă©gyptien Ă queue Ă©pineuse, Uromastyx aegyptius microlepis, n’est pas facile Ă voir dans le dĂ©sert sableux ou graveleux de Sharjah. Le timide Dabb adore se prĂ©lasser au soleil prĂšs de son terrier oĂč il peut se cacher rapidement si on l’approche. Ils vivent gĂ©nĂ©ralement en colonies, dans des terriers sĂ©parĂ©s de 20 Ă 50 mĂštres.
Ils sont capables de changer de couleur avec le changement de leur température corporelle, passant du noir au blanc ou au jaune en se réchauffant
Leur chasse a Ă©tĂ© interdite par une loi fĂ©dĂ©rale de 1983 et leur commerce est interdit en vertu de la Convention sur le commerce international des espĂšces de flore et de faune menacĂ©es d’extinction.
