Peeking Calotes
This young female calotes was trying to hide behind the branch initially when she saw me. A natural reaction indeed. After a while, she realized that I'm not a threat and peeked from behind the branch, though she was less than an arm's length from my body.
Even a small twig of branch between the animal and human makes the animal feel very comfortable and safe indeed, since these are arboreal and feel at home in the trees.
