Stringy. GED are confined to grasslands and in fact to a handful of locations. If you look up info on them you will see it is the care. Their tails are relatively short and curled and in fact used to hold onto grassland leaf in the top of tussocks. Jacky dragons are sometimes called tree dragons. Geoff

Thanks Geoff. Excellent tips! A friend thought it could have been an grassland earless, so to spot one in the hills would be important. Such ecological discoveries are rare it seems ;)
