Duh. 
after looking at the photos and your title I was about to reply mentioning that in Sth Oz they were usually referred to as a “Sleepy Lizard”
Luckily? as I skidded back to the top of your article I then noticed the other names - however I had never heard of them as a Bobtail althought it is quite descriptive,
I do recall many years ago, back when I still had a full head of hair, that I was WARNED never to get bitten by one of these. 
The bite itself was NOT the problem - it was the bacteria that these guys ( & gals? ) carry on their teeth & in their mouths can be particularly nasty I was STRONGLY warned & difficult to treat ( especially back then? )
I never put it to the test. ( and I can run faster than they can anyway - hmm maybe I should say that I COULD run faster than them back in those days )
