Southern rock agama

Description:

Agama atra has some ability to change colour. During the breeding season the heads of the males become bright blue. The males also take to sitting on top of prominent rocks. When a male agama in breeding colouration is approached by a potential predator it will lie flat against a rock and lose the intense breeding colours in favour of more cryptic colouration (pic #3)

Habitat:

The natural range of this species is almost entirely confined to the borders of South Africa (and Lesotho).
