Oriental Garden Lizard (Male)

Calotes versicolor

Description:

Males become highly territorial during breeding season. They discourage intruding males by brightening their red heads and doing "push-ups". Each tries to attract a female by inflating his throat and drawing attention to his handsomely coloured head.
