Doumergue's fringe-fingered lizard (Acanthodactylus spinicauda), also known commonly as Doumergue's fringe-toed lizard, is a species of lizard in the family Lacertidae. [1] [2]
A. spinicauda is found in Algeria. [1] [2]
The natural habitats of A. spinicauda are open stony and flat sandy places. [1]
A. spinicauda is oviparous, and the average clutch size is 8 eggs. [1]
The species A. spinicauda is considered " Critically Endangered" because of small geographic range, fragmented distribution within that range, and habitat loss. The species was collected for the first time in 1901. After more than a century no individuals were ever discovered again until recently in 2015, a discovery was made by an Algerian zoological team (D. Boualem, 2016). [1]
