Phnom Penh: The mountain thorny />
The group of hikers said they encountered a strange lizard that is rarely seen in other biodiversity hotspots, never seen in other protected areas in Cambodia. The mountain horned dragon is known by its scientific name: Acanthosaura, commonly known as the Mountain Horned Dragon. Its distinctive features include: sharp horns and spines growing on top of its head (looking like horns) and a row of long spines growing along its back. Its body is brown or earthy in color, which helps it blend in well with tree branches, dry wood, and the surrounding forest environment. It prefers to live in dense forests, mountainous areas, or places with high humidity and cool temperatures. This species is not poisonous or dangerous to humans and feeds on small insects. Please note that protected areas in Cambodia are a valuable natural heritage and an important habitat for all types of biodiversity. Protected areas cover approximately 41% of the country’s land area.
