Anatololacerta oertzeni is a small lizard from the family of true lizards. It lives on rocks in the mountains of southwestern Turkey and quickly runs over stones in search of prey.
Anatololacerta oertzeni is distinguished from closely related lizards by its unique scale pattern and adaptation to life on high cliffs. It helps maintain balance in nature by eating insects and serving as food for snakes and birds.
