Jacky lizards, or Jacky dragons (Amphibolurus muricatus) are common medium-sized lizards of brushland and forest in southeastern Australia.   They easily recognized by their dark gray color with prominent pale stripes down the back.   These were sunning on a warm spring day in a small woodland in Wollongong, on the coast of New South Wales.
