Fringe-fingered Lizards (Genus Acanthodactylus)Observer
andraszDescription
After registering some movement in the background, I approached and realised it was a snake catching a lizard. This lucky shot was the only one I could take, on the click of the camera the snake let go, and both ran/slithered away in opposite directions. The lizard is probably A. scutellatus, don't know if it survived the venom.
