PhotoPOSTcard: An Attractive Male Agama Lizard

Last Updated on 10/15/20 by Rose Palmer

I discovered that Africa has creatures both great and small. We found this little male Agama lizard near the Mara river in Kenya. During mating season, the males become these bright, almost neon colors. The rest of the time, they are a drab tan color like the females. This little guy may have had one too many mating territorial fights since his tail looks chopped off.

Thanks for visiting.
