Golden Armadillo-Lizard Looks just like Mini Dragon

All animals and humans come from previous ancestors, that can be mysterious to us. This time, nature brought to life a fantastic creature, which is a distinct combination of an armadillo and a lizard. The unique creature has an armored shell just like any armadillo and curls up when in anger. The Lizard-Armadillo could stay in a ball shape for up to an hour, thus protects itself from harm.



In scientific terms, these creatures are usually called Ouroborus cataphractus or in lamens terms, the Golden Armadillo Lizard. If you happen to be in South Africa, you can easily spot the Golden Armadillo Lizards. It's important to stay to not scare them off. The Armadillo-Lizards use many hiding tactics to avoid prey and unwanted eyes, but if you're able to catch them, you'll come to find some incredible and colorful mini dragons. Most of the dragons are seen in different shades of brown, green, and gold. All of them are covered with spikes, just like a crocodile. It's no surprise, though, since they're related to the crocodile family. Although the tiny creatures grow up to four inches only, they can live up to ten years.
