The '''Uromastyx Leptieni''' is a spiny-tailed lizard <ref>http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/classification/Uromastyx_leptieni.html</ref><ref>http://jcvi.org/reptiles/species.php?genus=Uromastyx&species=aegyptia</ref>that was once widely present in many parts of the [[Arabian Gulf]] but is rarely found today due to reduction of habitat. The remainder of the population mostly inhabits the gravel plains of northern [[Oman]] and some parts of the eastern [[UAE]] where it is listed as endangered and slowly vanishing due to the impact brought on by development. This lizard is locally known to the Arabs as 'Dhab' Arabic:'ضب'. Their strong skin made good leather for the [[bedouin]]s, while their meat was often considered as an alternative source of protein. |
