The Shovel Snouted Lizard is a small lizard the lives in the Namib Desert. It performs a "thermal dance" when the sand gets too hot for its feet. It props itself up on its tail, lifts a front foot and back foot, holds them up for a while and finally exchanges them with the opposite pair. This dance is repeated over and over again until the sand cools down a bit. If it becomes too much the lizard dives into the sand and "swims" down to a cooler level.

  • @MegaTyrannsaurus i agree, then put some cool sound effects when lifting their feet off hot ground

  • If you put some voices on some of the lizards,it would be funny. But the lizards are cool.
