Today while trying to photograph birds and butterflies in our garden, I spotted a very long lizard. It was more than a foot long with a cute little crest over its head and an unusually long tail. It turned out to be a Crested Tree Lizard (no surprises here, I must say).
Unlike birds, it proved to be highly courteous and gave me ample time to focus and take snaps. In fact, it remained frozen in the same position for nearly an hour. Perhaps it was actually startled and decided stay put.
These lizards are related to New World Iguanas but are much smaller in stature. The males of the specie change color during fights and breeding season, hence also called 'Changeable Lizards'.
