An Uromastyx lizard, also known as a dabb lizard, crosses a road in a desert near Tabuk

An Uromastyx lizard, also known as a dabb lizard, crosses a road in a desert near Tabuk April 19, 2013. The lizards, which are considered a delicacy in some parts of the Middle East, are caught in the spring season using hooks and sniffer dogs as well as bare hands. The lizards can be grilled or eaten raw, and according to popular belief, their blood is used to strengthen the body and treat diseases. Picture taken April 19.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the arid desert near Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, where an Uromastyx lizard confidently crosses a desolate road. The lizard, also known as a dabb lizard, is a fascinating creature that holds cultural significance in the Middle East. The image captures the harshness of the environment with its dry and barren landscape stretching into the horizon. Against this backdrop, the Uromastyx stands out with its vibrant colors and intricate scales. Its close-up reveals every detail of its unique reptilian features. This photograph not only showcases the beauty of nature but also sheds light on local traditions and practices. In some parts of the Middle East, these lizards are considered delicacies and are caught using various methods during springtime. The belief that their blood can strengthen one's body and treat diseases adds to their allure. As we observe this solitary creature making its way across an open road under scorching sunlight, it serves as a reminder of how wildlife adapts to survive in extreme conditions. It symbolizes resilience amidst adversity and highlights our interconnectedness with nature. Mohamed Hwaity's skillful composition captures both the vulnerability and strength embodied by this remarkable lizard species. This thought-provoking image invites us to contemplate our impact on fragile ecosystems while marveling at Earth's diverse inhabitants who continue to thrive against all odds.
