Congratulations Sachindra - Such a beautiful lizard & photo!

Such a beauty!!

Congrats Sachindra, this colorful lizard has been chosen as spotting of the day! The common green forest lizard is brightly colored and patterned with stripes and rings. This cryptic coloration helps camouflage the small lizard from potential predators in the treetops of its habitat. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152641145310603&set=a.10152383557885603.943728.10150120463815603&type=1 https://twitter.com/projectnoah/status/311259499304460289
