Information recarding this specific species are very limited. I know that it is endemic to South Africa and some other stats like size and colors. I have also read that the females have blueish colors in the facial area. So this is a female? I decided to go for the easy way and give some info on the family.
Agamas or Agamids are the Agamidae family of lizards, containing more than 300 species in Africa, Asia, Australia, and a few in Southern Europe. They are very similar to the American sister group of iguanas. Agamas are active during the day. Many species are perfectly adapted to a life in hot deserts, while others live in the trees of tropical rainforests.
Agamas have well-developed, strong legs. Their tails can't be shed and regenerated like those of some other lizard groups. Some agama species are able to change their colours.
This species have been seen in groups of more than 100. The males changes color when breeding.
The actual composition was rotated 90deg clockwise as this critter faced up-side down on a tree. I wonder if the original compo would have been better?
Hope you like it |
