The Sinai agama (Pseudotrapelus sinaitus) is a species of lizard that is found in deserts throughout the Middle East. The lizard's skin is usually brown, allowing it to blend in with its environment. However, males become bright blue in color during the lizard's breeding season in an effort to attract females, making the Sinai agama one of only a few blue reptiles. During this time, females remain brown but may also have some red markings on their sides.
