  Acanthodactylus erythrurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Red-tailed Spiny-footed Lizard (acanthodactylus erythrurus, or the "Spanish acanthodactylus"), is considered to be the fastest member of the huge Lacertidae family.
The acanthodactylus is native to a wide area of Africa and southern Europe, being found across the Sahara Desert and on the Iberian peninsula.
Though the lizard prefers dry and sparsely-vegetated regions, it is not restricted to arid terrain, and it is not uncommon to find it in other environments.

(Acanthodactylus is reassessed, supplementing the external features previously used with new data from the skeleton and hemipenis.
The genus appears to be closely related to Eremias and Mesalina rather than to Latastia as was previously thought.

The Acanthodactylus, or Fringe-Toed/Fingered Lizards, are one of the larger lacertid genera.
Very widely distributed Acanthodactylus species and in North Africa at least very common across its range.
It is found in natural areas such as open sand or clay ground, steppes with high or low plants or bushes, grassy sandy banks, sand dunes and oases, but also near rubbish dumps.

Author: Diaz, Jose A. Body temperatures, heat exchange rates, behavioral thermoregulation, and movement behavior (as an index of foraging mode) were studied in two widely distributed, medium-sized lacertid lizards (Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Psammodromus algirus).
These habitat preferences parallel differences between the areas in which both genera presumably originated: Eurosaharian xeric steppes with high operative temperatures ([T.sub.e]) for Acanthodactylus, and...

The flora is very sparse, consisting mainly of lyme grass (Ammophila arenaria L.) and a shrub called camarina (Corema album Don.), with a sweet-tasting fruit which is eaten by birds.
A common species of lizard is Acanthodactylus erythrurus, the spiny-footed lizard; common snakes are Lataste's viper (Vipera latasti) and the Montpellier snake (Malpolon monspessulanus).
These reptiles provide food for the short-toed eagle (Circaetus gallicus) and the barn owl (Tyto alba).
