Geniez's Wall Lizard
Podarcis virescens
Geniez's Wall Lizards inhabit rocky slopes, old walls, and sunny scrubland, where they bask before making rapid foraging runs. They hunt insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates, using quick bursts of speed to seize prey. Adults may use vivid body coloration and posture during territorial displays, while their detachable tails remain an important defense.
