Gilbert's Dragon (Lophognathus gilberti)

Named after English naturalist John Gilbert this spectacular lizard is apparently quite common in Australia's Northern Territory (the Top End) we only saw one on our tour. Locals know it as the 'Ta Ta Lizard' because it looks as though its waving goodbye when it stops running...
