Description
This stamp features the Fouette-queue, locally called “Al-Dhab”. This massive lizard is famous for its short, broad tail dotted with spiny scales which it uses as a defensive weapon.
A true colossus of the arid and rocky areas of southern Tunisia, the Fouette-queue is a symbol of extreme adaptation to the Saharan heat. The illustration highlights its prehistoric appearance and its robustness, recalling the rich biodiversity of desert environments.
