Cretan Wall Lizard

Podarcis cretensis

Classification

Podarcis cretensis, the Cretan wall lizard, is a species of lacertid lizard endemic to Crete (including its satellite islands). Until 2008, these lizards were considered a subspecies of Podarcis erhardii. Genetic analysis, however, revealed that it is a separate species closely related to Podarcis peloponnesiacus.
