Summary description from Wikipedia:

Ctenophorus mckenziei

Ctenophorus mckenziei, also commonly known as the dwarf-bicycle dragon and McKenzie's dragon, is a species of endemic Australian lizard within the family Agamidae. Originally named and described as the agamid Amphibolurus mckenziei, the lizard had been identified within the regions of Western Australia and South Australia in which it occupied the shrubbery and woodland areas as its habitat. It was subsequently transferred to the genus Ctenophorus along with other agamid species with which it shared similar morphology and characteristics. The name mckenziei is in reference to Norman Leslie McKenzie, who was a zoologist and discovered the existence of the lizard. Listed on the IUCN red list page, threats to its population numbers are evaluated as least concern; however, its numbers are threatened by habitat loss, climate change, and feral predators.
