		Long tails enable lizards to raise their forelegs up off the ground and to run on their hind legs alone (bipedality is a faster means of locomotion than tetrapodality).
		Prehensile tails are used as a fifth leg in climbing by some arboreal lizard species like some geckos (e.g., Diplodactylus elderi) and by the true chameleons (Chameleo dilepis) of the Kalahari.
		A related Australian desert gecko Diplodactylus conspicillatus has a non-glandular but very short and stubby bony tail: these nocturnal termite specialists hide in the vertical shafts of abandoned spider holes during the day and it is thought that they point head downwards and use their tails to block off these tunnels.

		The fat-tailed diplodactylus (Diplodactylus conspicillatus) is found only on the ground in stony and grassy areas across much of the top of Australia, its colour varying to match the habitat in which it lives.
		The fat-tailed diplodactylus spends its days in underground holes, such as abandoned burrows of trap-door spiders, blocking the entrance with its fat tail to keep out predators and keep in moisture.
		Most adults have lost their original tails which are replaced with more rounded ones which make even better burrow-plugs.

		The mammals crushed the reptiles in our nightly count this night; we saw twelve rabbits and four kangaroos, but only five reptiles, all of them geckos.
		The only good news was that the five geckos comprised four different species: Strophurus spinigerus, Diplodactylus ornatus, Heteronotia binoei, and this one, which turned out to be the only individual of this species that we saw on our trip.
		Here is a complete list of the reptiles and frogs I saw on this trip to Western Australia.
