Fan-throated lizard in the Ghoradeshwar Hills, Pune, Maharashtra, India
This small but mighty fan-throated lizard is showing off its red, blue, and black colours in an attempt to woo a lady friend. The thin flap of skin around its throat, known as a gular appendage, is normally the same colour as the rest of its body. But during mating season, males develop the flashy display of colours. The fan-throated lizard makes its home in the arid lands of the Indian subcontinent.
