Exotica
This is Peter's Rock Agama Lizard. Besides it's long name, this 12 inch lizard is another example of the turmoil in Florida's biomes. It is an exotic invasive species from sub-Saharan Africa, released into southern areas of Florida, allegedly by an unidentified dealer of exotic animals in the 1970s.
Paul (D200-Paul) and I watched this handsome lizard scurry about at Castellow Hammock Preserve, a small (120 acre) park near Homestead, Florida.
