Field Notes

Description:

I shot this in Natural National Park Ensenada de Utría in the region of Chocó-Colombia! this lovely lizard have outstanding colors and he was very elusive.

Belongs to the family of Teiidae and Ameiva Genus. Members of this family are generally known as whiptails

Habitat:

Rainforest, Tropical

Notes:

I was very lucky because after much patience and slow movements trying to get close to the lizard, he stayed for a few seconds just looking at the camera like saying , ''hey man , you want a picture of me? , take it now and leave me alone'' . then just vanished into the jungle, I saw only about three more of these throughout the trip .
