    Agama (lizard)
    
    Agama (from Sranan Tongo meaning "lizard") is a genus of small-to-moderate-sized, long-tailed, insectivorous Old World lizards. The genus Agama includes at least 37 species in Africa, especially sub-Saharan Africa, where most regions are home to at least one species. Eurasian agamids are largely assigned to genus Laudakia. The various species differ in size, ranging from about 12 to 30 centimetres (5 to 12 in) in length, when fully grown. Their colour also differs between species, between genders, and according to mood; for example, a dominant male in display mode is far brighter than when it has been caught, beaten by another male, or otherwise alarmed. Females tend to be less colourful than the males of the species. According to species, agamas live in forest, in bush, among rocks and on crags, but where their habitat has been cleared, or simply occupied by humans, some species also adapt to life in villages and compounds, for example inside the thatch of huts and other sheltering crevices. Agamids' hind legs generally are long and powerful; and the lizards can run and leap swiftly when alarmed. Agamas...

  @selzero Is it real? Is it your photo? It's not a chamaeleon's face nor eyes. It's a lizard's body. Please share the source if you took that photo from somewhere else.
  I can't check it at the moment but it looks like#AISlop.

  @GustavinoBevilacqua Yes, that's an African agama species https://www.steveshamesphotos.com/photo/serengeti-african-agamid-lizard/ but *no chamaeleon*
  And most photos of the agama in these extreme colours come from an AI platform. In nature, they are often paler.
  @selzero Therefore, it's always important not just to steel photos but name the source!

    Agama agama
    
    The common agama or red-headed rock agama (Agama agama) is a species of lizard from the family Agamidae found in most of sub-Saharan Africa and in Florida where it has spread. To clear up centuries of historical confusion based on Linnaeus and other authors, Wagner et al. designated a neotype (numbered ZFMK 15222) for the species, using a previously described specimen from Cameroon in the collection of the Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig in Bonn. The species name was formerly applied to a paraphyletic collection of taxa (a so-called wastebasket); subsequent mitochondrial DNA analysis of various populations indicates they represent separate species. Consequently, three former subspecies A. a. africana, A. a. boensis, and A. a. mucosoensis are now considered separate species, and A. a. savattieri is considered synonymous with A. africana. Description Its size varies from 13 to 30 cm (5.1 to 11.8 in) in total length. Males are typically 7.5 to 12 cm (3.0 to 4.7 in) longer than the average female. The agama lizard can be identified...

  1. Tiny frog on top of a green leaf. It’s almost all red, with shine blue arms and legs. The blue coloring on the hind legs cover its bum so it looks like it’s wearing pants and gloves.
