The unique and elusive lizard's camouflage renders it 'almost invisible' in its rocky home.
Scientists have discovered a new 'dragon lizard' species in Southeast Asia with remarkable camouflage capabilities that render it 'almost invisible' in its natural habitat.The unique lizard, described for the first time in a study published in the journal Zoological Research, belongs to a family known as Agamidae, many of which are called 'dragons' or 'dragon lizards.
The first individual was observed and photographed in August 27, 2022, by Santi Xayyasith—one of the study authors from the National University of Laos—during a bird-watching excursion in the area.A second individual was observed on October 6, 2022, by a local guide escorting a group of tourists on a zipline course, which researchers subsequently collected. Scientists then collected another individual on February 2, 2023 at the same spot on the top of the limestone pinnacle.
