Green Forest Lizards have a remarkable ability to change their body colours. The normal colour is olive green. But in threat the body becomes yellow & the neck & sides of the head become red.You will be able to see that from these pictures.These pictures belong to a one lizard!There is a video which was taken from the u tube. It will give you a better idea about this lizard.... http://www.youtube.com/v/prYj3BsQUO0
