Calotes versicolor
Changeable Lizards are related to iguanas (which are found only in the New World). Unlike other lizards, they do not drop their tails (autotomy), and their tails can be very long, stiff and pointy. Like other reptiles, they shed their skins. Like chameleons, Changeable Lizards can move each of their eyes in different directions. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriental_ga...)
Known also as Eastern Garden Lizard or Changeable Lizard, it is an agamid lizard found widely distributed in Asia. It has also been introduced in many other parts of the world.
Found in Alathur, Palakkad District, Kerala State, India
