Yesterday morning on my walk, I photographed this rainbow lizard (female) and had to be reminded that the classification of a male specimen published in recent days.
Link to the photo of the male specimen (http://es.treknature.com/viewphotos . php? l = 3 & p = 207038)

The classification is:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Reptilia
Order: Squamata
Family:Teiidae
Genero: Cnemidophorus
Species: Cnemidophorus lemniscatus Linnaeus, 1758

This girl did not want to sit in a more clear. I take this photo of the remaining stubble. After briefly disappeared.

Regards,

Jesus

Hola Jesus

Una toma algo dificil, ya que estos animales nada más que nos ven huyen.

Muy bien tratada ya que casi no se aprecia por el mimetismo.

Un saludo Antonio

Hi Jesus,

I imagine you would not have seen this Lizard had she not moved since she was so well camouflaged. I love the position and the fine details of her face, eye and skin, the colored stripes on her back and her long tail. Interesting to see her in this natural setting.

Ciao Jesus. Era difficile far risaltare la lucertola che ha gli stessi colori dell'ambiente circostante. Ci sei riuscito con una egregia gestione della luce ed un buon POV.

Hi Jesus, a fine capyure of this beautiful whip-tailed lizard in its natural environment with wonderful details and nice composition.
TFS and cheers,
Bayram

Hola Jesus,
Although You've had hard work here, You made it very well. I mean this time the monochromatic tones, the lack of colors don't help to the viewer, but of course everyone understands You haven't had the chance to ask the lady to sit somewhere else. :) OK sharpness, nice cropping. I don't know if the darker parts in the corners were caused by the natural lights or Your lens is doing vignette effect - overall a fine pic.
Gracias, un saludo, László
