  1. A break from my Colombian bird series, but I had this pic up on inaturalist and a Greek fellow just helped me ID it, so I thought I'd put it up here too :) Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago

Anatololacerta oertzeni pelasgiana is a medium sized wall lizard endemic to south-eastern Turkey and Rhodes.
It is part of a small genus that was recently separated from Lacerta based on molecular data, comprising three species (so far) restricted to southern Anatolia and adjacent Greek islands.
