Green Crested Lizard (Bronchocela cristatella)

I was separated from our group when I encountered this amazing Agamid lizard (family Agamidae). Distinguished from the similar "B. jubata" by "B. cristatella's" crest resembling points on a crown. Capable of changing color quickly, this one had mixed colors, mostly bright green but with a brown tail. Its eyes appear to move independently in their sockets like a Chameleon.
