Description

Girdled Lizards and Their Relatives

By Jens Reissig

This landmark volume focuses on the fascinating group of African lizards known as cordylines—armored, viviparous reptiles once classified under Cordylus and Pseudocordylus. While some species have wide distributions, many are restricted to small, specific habitats. A few, like the iconic Armadillo Lizard (Ouroborus cataphractus) and Giant Dragon Lizard (Smaug giganteus), are familiar to herpetologists around the world. Others remain known only from a handful of specimens.

Jens Reissig offers the first comprehensive, accessible guide to these remarkable lizards, combining the latest scientific insights with a wealth of personal field experience in southern Africa. This book includes detailed identification keys, vivid photographs, range maps, and up-to-date information on taxonomy, biology, and behavior. Topics such as viviparity, body armor evolution, and social structures are explored in depth, making it both a practical reference and a visually rich tribute to the diversity of cordylids.

Perfect for both professionals and dedicated amateurs, this is the definitive guide to one of Africa’s most intriguing reptile groups.
