Peninsular Rock Agama
Just after entering the forest I was welcomed by this very handsome guy who was basking on one of the rocks by the side of the forest road. He stayed in this position for a few seconds before running away inside the bushes. The sound of our SUV must have freaked him out!

The Peninsular rock agama or South Indian rock agama, ''Psammophilus dorsalis'', is a common species of agama found on rocky hills in south India. An allied species, ''Psammophilus blanfordanus'', is found in the Eastern Ghats, but north of the range of this species.
