Field Notes

Description:

The Changeable Lizard is relatively common and found in a wide range of habitats. They appear to adapt well to humans and are thus not endangered.

Habitat:

They are commonly found among the undergrowth in open habitats including highly urban areas.

Notes:

I used to work in Granite Quarries back in those days. where the temperatures were extremly high without water and dust and very few plants. but these lizards were found everywhere in those quarries.......really strange... coz no other living being other than humans and these little fellows were found in that habitat. this proves these lizards have a extreme adaptation ability in extreme conditions, this also proves that nature is adapting at its best to new conditions.
