Augrabies: Lizards everywhere

in #herpetology7 years ago

You get some loner males...

...just chilling, by themselves on a rock...

Some loner females, chilling on a log...

...and then you get the mixed hordes...

...all squabbling beneath a tree dropping fruit...

Waiting at the base for the next fruit to drop....

...and when it does someone gobbles it up...

...but who's to say you can't catch some sun with your girlfriend while you wait...

There was even a low melanin female in the group sporting much lighter colours.

These are Broadley's Flat Lizard (Platysaurus broadleyi)
