Eastern Fence Lizards are likely the most commonly seen animal on Nelson Rocks (besides birds) and can often be found sunning on the eastern-facing second half of the Via Ferrata route.

These reptiles blend in almost perfectly to the lichen on the rocks; you'd be lucky to even notice one until it starts moving!
