They can be found in various colors from light yellow to dark brown and around four inches in size when stretch. These tiny Armadillo lizards can be seen in deserts of South Africa and they are covered up with a coat of spiky scale which helps them to survive in a harsh environment. Because of their unique appearance with that thorny coat they are known as Mini-Dragons as well. Even though they have such a fierce look, they are just innocent reptiles and no harm to humans. They live as a massive group in deserts and normally feed by small insects. And there’s another uniqueness of them. They are the only reptile which do not lay eggs.
