One lizard’s camouflage

This iridescent green lizard had a black tail – with that colour scheme and pattern of spots, bands and spikes – he blended in well with its surroundings.

Whether peeking out from the shadow under a rusting metal lid or wound into a wall of leaves off to one side of the garden I found him in, he seemed able to choose when to appear and when to disappear.

And when he chose – to strut like a peacock!

Note: I did include a couple of other photographs of this fellow in an earlier post on Los Cabos lizards here previously.
