A striking lizard native to sub-Saharan Africa. Its vibrant colours—males sport a brilliant red head and throat—are a testament to its beauty and evolutionary strategy. These lizards are adept climbers, often found basking on rocks or trees in savannah habitats. Their diet consists mainly of insects, which they catch with lightning-fast tongue strikes. Males display dominance and attract mates through head-bobbing displays, showcasing their vibrant colours to females and rivals alike.
