A request for Pseudocordylus melanotus (Common Crag Lizard) Observations
Two known subpopulations of the Common Crag Lizard occur in Gauteng, one in Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve and the other in the Magaliesberg Protected Natural Environment in the Greater Magaliesberg Biosphere Reserve. The Magaliesberg subpopulation was first discovered in 2003 by J. Makola (Bates & Whittington-Jones, 2009). Since the discovery, only a few additional records have surfaced.
A study is underway exploring the ecology of the Common Crag Lizard. So if you find yourself on the Magaliesberg mountain or adjacent foothills, please keep an eye out for these magnificent lizards. You will see them sitting on exposed rock surfaces close to suitable crevices where they find refuge from potential threats.
Please share this request with your fellow naturalists that frequent the area.
Happy Exploring!
