The total identified herpetofauna community comprised 11 frog species (three families) and 35 reptiles (10 families) and includes a mix of eastern (Bassian), western (Eyrean) and northern (Torresian) species. It will erratically jump multiple times in succession, each jump pivoting its body in a different direction. This behaviour apparently confuses predators enough to allow the lizard to escape.
