      Thanks! Those guys were very tame, lounging around in the hotel garden. Kinda need another photo to capture the ridiculous length of the tail, though. Posted 8 years ago

        Bronchocela jubata - Maned Forest Lizard This prehistoric dragon like creature is incredibly difficult to spot in the field. It can actually rapidly change color to match its surroundings, adding to the difficulty of locating. The flash of the camera makes this view stand out, but take a look at the male image, to see how the coloration matches the leaves.<br /> <br /> As I am walking the path, I do not bother looking for lizard shapes, a fruitless exercise. I look for vertical sticks with no leaves or branches, a dead giveaway for this lizard.<br /> <br /> You can approach slowly with great success. The lizard has such confidence in its camouflage, that it remains motionless, assuming that it cannot be seen<br /> <br /> Location is Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Alongside a stream and paddy fields.<br /> http://www.jungledragon.com/image/37746/bronchocela_jubata_-_maned_forest_lizard.html Bandung,Bronchocela jubata,Geotagged,Indonesia,Java,Summer,West Java,dragon,forest,lizard,maned
