The Lake Eyre dragon (Ctenophorus maculosus) is an agamid lizard that lives only on the barren, vegetation-free, salt crust of several dry lake basins in South Australia
The lizards burrow into moist sediment beneath the crust to escape the extreme heat of midday, and they feed on insects and plant debris that blows onto the salt crust from the vegetation surrounding the lake basins.
