Yemen Rock Agama at Al Mehfar Park – Thanoumah



Whilst birdwatching the Al Mehfar Park area of Tanoumah I came across a Yemen Rock Acanthocercus yemensis.

The occurs in northern Yemen and adjacent , but the limits of its distribution in Saudi Arabia are currently not well known. It occurs from around 2,000 to 3,000 metres above sea level mainly in rocky habitats.

They occur both on the ground and climbing rocky surfaces, and including stone-walls and human habitations.
