An Oplurus iguana (saxicolous) with tail twice as long as body. Light grey without banding
Oplurus is a genus of Malagasy iguanian lizards, most of which are rock-dwelling terrestrial species.
The sister genus to Oplurus is Chalarodon, which contains two species: Chalarodon madagascariensis and Chalarodon steinkampi,[1] which are terrestrial iguanas and easily distinguished from Oplurus by its smaller size and the presence of a distinct dorsal crest.
