25-7-2019 AVILA, CASTILLE Y LEON - GUADARRAMA WALL LIZARD (Podarcis guadarramae)


Podarcis guadarramae is a species of lizard in the family Lacertidae. It is found in Spain and Portugal. 

The Guadarrama Wall Lizard is specialized on the granite rock substrates of western-central Iberia. No granite rocks - no Podarcis guadarramae! It mainly occurs in the mountain ranges of the Sistema Central - from Sierra del Alto Rey (Guadalajara) in the east to Sierra de Guadarrama, Sierra de Gredos and Peña de Francia. For distribution range see map at Podarcis hispanicus.

Podarcis guadarramae differs from the neighbouring Iberian Podarcis species by its flattened head and elongated snout.
