Also known as the Lyreshead Lizard, the hump-nosed lizard is a species of Agamid lizard native to Sri Lanka. It gets its name from a small knob on the top of its nose which i can only guess is used in display. They also have a dewlap under their chins to deter predators. They are often found in wet forests
