Lizards of Fuerteventura, Canary Island (1 Viewer)

[Warixenjalka]

I manage to photographed couple of islands lizards. The ID should be easy cos there is only one Lacertid species and one Skink in Fuerteventura (Or is there some introduced species?). So these all are Atlantic Lizards (Gallotia atlantica). Or is the lizard in last pic something else? It was found at airports floor?

It is now West Canaries or Tenerife Lizard Galliotia galloti, a species in its own right.

Do you mean that they are "lumped" (= put to same species)?

No sorry , they are two separate species, Atlantic Lizard Gallotia atlantica (on FV, GC & LZ) and West Canaries Lizard Gallotia galloti (on TE,EH, LP & LG).
