Ghoulish Gonocephalus
Borneo Anglehead Lizard (Gonocephalus bornensis) - Danum Valley, Malaysia
I miss the fauna of Asia and Borneo in particular, unfortunately I won't be seeing them again for a while with all my upcoming trips restricted to the new world tropics. Here is a older shot of one of the most commonly encountered lizards of Borneo, the Bornean Angle headed Lizard , a beautiful endemic of the lowland tropical forests of Borneo. This lizards are excellently camouflaged and active during the day, at night they will find a branch or bit of vegetation to sleep on. This branch/vegetation serves as a early alarm system if a predator tries to reach them the branch moves under the predators weight and alerts the lizard.
