Bronchocela jubata
Female and male Maned Forest Lizards.
Adjacent to small stream. Altitude 1000m.
Very difficult to find these elusive creatures, with their very effective camouflage. But, once found, they are a joy to photograph as they don't move, such is their faith in their camo defense. If you stress them too much, they will change to a dark color, then you know that it is the right thing to move on. I have included an image of the color change. The males have more pronounced crests, also included.
