    This lizard does not look happy to see you. They look like they would be happy to take you on in a fight. This is an excellent lizard. Posted one year ago

      Glad you like him! This was the first lizard of the trip, and I photographed him almost as an after-thought. It was only when I got back to my hotel that I became aware of Chile's treasure trove of Liolaemus.
      Funnily enough, a few days later I spent a morning near the actual type locality of Baños Morales in hopes of seeing that exact species, being unaware that I'd already photographed it!       Posted one year ago
