Acanthocercus annectans, the Eritrean rock agama or Eritrean ridgeback agama, is a species of lizard in the family Agamidae. [2]
The Eritrean rock agama has irregular black lines and a white line down the centre of the line. [3] It’s scales are small, and it’s head is subtriangular, and flat. [3] It’s nose is blunt, ended by a rostral scale, and the frenal region being depressed. [3] The tail is longer then the body and head, and the chin is covered in small rhomboidal scales decreasing in size. [3]
The Eritrean rock agama lives in forests, savannas, inland wetlands, inland cliffs and mountain peaks. [4] They live in loose groups with large males often sharing living spaces. [4] They eat insects and arthropods, most of it being ants. [4]
The species is listed as Least Concern with the species being quite abundant and populations being stable. [4] This species is still threatened by logging and annual and perennial non-timber crops. [4]
