Adnoartina

Adnoartina

Adnoartina is known as the lizard guard of Uluru, or Ayer's Rock. The Aboriginal peoples of Australia living around Ayer's Rock tell numerous legends about Adnoartina and other lizards that emerge from the rock.

It is believed that the origin of the Adnoartina may have been Komodo Dragons that were blown off of their native homes by typhoons and landed in Australia.
