10 Of The World's Most Amazing Lizard Species
7. Rock Agama
The Rock Agamas are found in most Sub-Saharan countries. They are normally 13-30cm long with the males measuring 3 to 5 inches longer than the females. The lizards normally live in a small group with one male as the leader. The lead male is allowed to mate with the females, but the other males cannot mate with any female in the group, unless they eliminate the lead male or form their own group. Rock agamas feed on insects, reptiles, small mammals, and vegetation. They mate during the wet season. Before the mating, the male digs down small holes using its snout. After the mating, the females lay in the holes. The incubation period takes 8 to 10 weeks.
