Animals and Vegetation in East Africa - Serengeti Tanzania 2012 - A colorful agama lizard sits proudly atop a sun-warmed rock, surrounded by a carpet of short, vibrant green grass. The lizard?s head and upper body are a striking combination of bright red and orange, contrasting beautifully with the deep blue of its tail and rear legs. It holds its head high, displaying an alert and watchful posture. The lizard is basking, absorbing the sun's warmth to regulate its body temperature and prepare for swift action if danger arises. It typically forages along the ground and among rocks, seeking insects and other tiny invertebrates to eat. The vivid colors serve as a display mechanism, used to communicate with other agamas.
