Eublepharis angramainyu
species of reptile
Eublepharis angramainyu, also known as the Iranian fat-tailed gecko, Iranian eyelid gecko or Iraqi eyelid gecko, is a nocturnal ground-dwelling lizard native to Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Syria. Its diet is insectivorous but may eat smaller vertebrates. Like most lizards it has the ability to shed its tail (autotomy).
The Iraqi eyelid gecko has a continuous light vertebral stripe extending from the occiput to the base of the tail, bordered on each side by broken black stripes.
Like most geckos in the Eublpharis genus they have a fatter tail with spots.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Eublepharis angramainyu”, the useful work is to connect “species of reptile” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q770905. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
