	Tata Lizard, Lophognathus gilberti photo - Alexander Dudley photos at pbase.com
		all galleries >> Aussie reptiles >> Aussie Lizards >> Dragon Lizards, Family Agamidae > Tata Lizard, Lophognathus gilberti
		Named after Leichardt's companion, Gilbert who got speared (probably as a consequence of breaking traditional law), the Tata lizard is also named because of its rather charming habit of waving its forearm about in a circular motion just before running off.
		This behaviour is not only used by females flirting with males (and testing their reproductive fitness in the breeding season) but may well be used as a means of drawing the eye to the spot where the lizard was, rather than where it actually is.

	Striped Water Dragon lizard - Physignathus temporalis
		Striped water dragons also occur in NW Australia.
		The scientific Genus name has changed over the years from: Physignathus to Lophognathus, to most recently, Gemmatophora sometimes spelled Grammatophora--while the species name, temporalis, remains the same.
		This should help you if you want to look up the scientific name in books or the net!

		It makes me think it was a male defending his territory, but in fact I didn't know anything.
		Now Suzanne, a visitor of this site, wrote me this was a Ta-Ta Lizard or Gilbert's Dragon (Lophognathus gilberti).
		She has one regulary visiting the courtyard of the local school.

		This is a really nice shot, the lizard stands out from the background with pleasing results.
		I believe the name of your lizard is either a Greater Military Dragon(Diporiphora albilabris albilabris) or Gilbert`s Dragon or Ta-Ta Lizard (Lophognathus gilberti) I would have to see the top view.
