  2. This one gives a very nice total body shot of this remarkable species. Very educational as well, I never heard of mountain-horned dragons before. Keep up the good work, promoted to homepage. Posted 12 years ago

Acanthosaura is a genus of lizards commonly known as mountain horned dragons, or pricklenape agamas. They are so named because of a row of dorsal spines which run down the back of their neck. They are arboreal lizards that are found in Southeast Asia. They are medium-sized, ranging from about 7½ inches up to 15 inches in length, depending on species and individual. They tend to prefer higher elevation areas that are dense with vegetation.
