Last weekend we were at the Opel-Zoo near Frankfurt and I snapped a photo of this beaded lizard. When I was making up this post I checked out its English name, and as I often do with the help of wikipedia rather than with a dictionary. And I was amazed that a photo of this particular lizard is on the German wikipedia site (not on the English one) to show a Skorpion-Krustenechse. The scorpion in the German name is due to the fact that it is poisonous.

A beaded lizard…I had no idea, but what a perfect name for it. Quite a good-looking little thing.
