Photo "Agama sailing"

Good afternoon friends! I want to introduce you to Agama sailing, who lives in Ukraine in the city of Nikolaev in the zoo.

It occurs mainly near small fresh water reservoirs along the banks of rivers.

The total body length of adults reaches one meter, about 60% of which falls on the tail, keeled, flattened from the sides. Through the whole body along the spine at the septa passes a crest extending from the head to about a quarter of the length of the tail. The comb is present in both females and males, but in the latter it is more developed. The head is small, elongated, with enlarged nostrils and large brown or dark red eyes. Body cylindrical, compressed laterally, covered with uniform, smooth, rather shallow scales.

Coloring from bright green or sandy-yellow to dark brown or brown with dark spots. Males have a brighter, more contrasting color. Sexual dimorphism is expressed in greater height of the crest, larger sizes and mass of males.

Have a nice day, everyone!
