Ceratophora tennenttii from The Lizard Lab website
We’ve had a continuing series of posts on anole wannabees (most recent here), those lizards other than Anolis that sport dewlaps. Many of the best faux anoles are Asian agamid lizards. Some of these lizards are anole-like in other ways. For example, the fascinating Sri Lankan Ceratophora, though lacking a dewlap, parallels some anoles (well, two in particular), by sporting an appendage on its nose. Read more about these fascinating lizards at Martin Whiting’s Lizard Lab website.
