Gallotia galloti (Tenerife Lizard or Western Canaries Lizard) is a lacertid (wall lizard) species of the genus Gallotia. It is found on the Canary Islands of Tenerife and La Palma.
Four subspecies are recognized:
Gallotia galloti eisentrauti - Northern Tenerife Lizard (northern Tenerife)
Gallotia galloti galloti - Southern Tenerife Lizard (central and southern Tenerife, including Teide)
Gallotia galloti insulanagae - Anaga Lizard (Roque de Fuera de Anaga, offshore the Macizo de Anaga mountains, northeastern Tenerife)
Gallotia galloti palmae - La Palma Lizard (La Palma)
Its closest relative is the smaller Boettger's Lizard, which occurs on El Hierro and La Gomera (Maca-Meyer et al. 2003). G. galloti is a sizeable lizard, though with strong males reaching up to 40 cm (including tail) it still belongs to the smaller Gallotia as the giant species can reach up to double that length.

Hi Neighbor,

Excellent shot of this Lizard couple. It's interesting to see the differences between the sexes. Fine details of their faces and skin - I love the eyes. Beautiful colors - the blue looks so unusual to me but I don't know much about lizards.

Superb shot of these two lizards :-)
Very, very detailed and pin-sharp.
Excellent composition.
Brilliant DOF too.

Well done, Vicma!

El cabuqueo es lo más común en esta especie según tengo entendido.
Aparentemente no están en peligro de extinción, pero todo se andará.
Un bonito trabajo, muy detallado y con excelente nitidez.
Un cordial saludo, JL.

Al final la selección pudo.

Well done.
I like the low POV.
Good DOF as well.
Well composed.
Interesting content. Guess I haven't seen this lizard specie before..

Hola Vicma,
What a splendid capture of these beautiful pair! You must have been very lucky to catch them together like this in the wild. And such a perfect close view! The male is amazing with those large blue spots and you've focussed in very well on the eye. I like your low POV and the composition too. Brilliant!
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Hi Victor,
Very nice composition and colors. Sharpness is at where it should be, impressing red eyes. I especially liked the blue of the larger one. Thanks

Hi Victor,
what a nice couple of desert dragons in loving approach! Those blue spots of courting pattern are in delightful contrast to the red rocks and sands. Very well approach at eye-level, with a perfectly fading depth of field.
Thank you! With all my best wishes.
