Description
The Desert Monitor Lizard, nicknamed “Ourak”, is beautifully drawn on this 500 millime stamp. It is the largest lizard in Tunisia, shown here in its sandy environment, next to a desert plant.
An agile and powerful predator, the monitor lizard occupies the top of the herpetological food chain. Its presence on the stamp underlines the importance of preserving large predators to maintain the ecological balance of Saharan ecosystems. Its wild elegance makes it an ambassador of the Tunisian Saharan fauna.
