Platysaurus intermedius rhodesianus
Astoundingly colourful flat lizard, very numerous and quite docile in company of humans - not quite enough to be petted but certainly to be closely observed.
Large rocky outcrops of Matopos National Park, especially near Cecil Rhode's gravesite.
This one seems to have a damaged or deformed tail?

Such a Beautiful Lizard!
Un arco iris de escamas::
Wonderful !
Stunning rainbow colors!
Wow! I think it dropped its tail some time ago...
U should put it on the mission: Animals with Warning Colours!
amazing colors...but looks poisonous
Wonderful and amazing color! This lizard probably dropped his tail some time in the past to avoid being eaten by a predator. He has regrown his tail. They never look quite the same after regrowth but it is a good way to survive!
