Talk:Acanthodactylus erythrurus

Question about images and conservation section

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.

Acanthodactylus erythrurus or Acanthodactylus?

The content of this article may be more appropiated for Acanthodactylus.

Incredible deja vue!

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Isn't this a grossly outdated attitude - in the 21'st century, if not in the 19'th?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)

10/21 Edits

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)
