Question about images and conservation section[edit]

Hi! I would love to see a few more images (one or two at most) of the patterning differences of the spots on these lizards back. I also would love a few more details on the importance of their feet and what role this plays in their speed and agility. Overall great page though- I really appreciated the geographic range vs habitat distinction.

Incredible deja vue![edit]

When we were young, and sometimes a little too wild in our father's opinion, he sometimes quoted some 19'th century German naturalist, who was infamous for ascribing various misplaced characters to animals; if I got this right. (If I've heard his name, I've forgotten it.) The quotation was, roughly:

This animal is very evil; it defends itself, when you attack it.

Now, in this wp article, I just found a rather similar characterisation:

The spiny-footed lizard does not have a particularly pleasant nature. Like every member of this genus, it is very aggressive and bites tenaciously if one tries to catch it.

Isn't this a grossly outdated attitude - in the 21'st century, if not in the 19'th? JoergenB (talk) 22:00, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

10/21 Edits[edit]

Hello! I edited this article, mainly by fixing the citations. The article was mostly uncited, so I had to add in citations for every new fact. In addition, there were many repeat citations that needed to be fixed that I was able to delete. Furthermore, some information might have been unreliable so I removed them for now until further references can be provided.Nikhil.sekar (talk) 21:00, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
