Lizard

Finally captured him with his throat all puffed out.

[Gail]

That's such a great shot, Danette.

[👑 AnaZad]

Fantastic. I know it's difficult to get them with the throat puffed out.

[Pam Knowler]

Wow what a great capture. I didn't realise they did this with their throats.

[Henri Russell]

Great capture. Wow.

[Simon]

Great shot Danette

[richard saffold]

well heck, our lizards don't do this.

[Shirley]

nice capture....it's hard to catch them with the throat pouch out

[Cathy]

That throat gave the lizard away... he really blended in! Nicely captured!

Thank you all for your comments! I see these lizards all the time, but rarely puffing out his throat. Someone on 365 told me to watch when he bobs his head as he does it just before. They were right! Males do this for sexual and territorial reasons. I was glad he was putting on a show within camera distance (though closer would have been nice!).

[Cindy]

Great catch

[Debbie Christoff]

Such a cool shot Danette!

[jerry plume]

Wow! That's so crazy how they do that! I love the red!

[SquamLoon]

Almost surreal! Really cool contrasted with the pink. I get why you kept his whole body in, but I'm curious if you tried cropping it...

[Danny G.]

I think he likes you! Nice timing

[Lisa Nordquist]

That is so cool! Nice capture.
