Brazilian Grilled Lizard

Tropidurus itambere

Brazilian Grilled Lizard

Adults are active daytime lizards of rocky Brazilian habitats, especially open cerrado and dry grassland edges. They bask on exposed stones, then dart after insects, spiders, and occasional plant material. The species is known for its flattened body posture, which helps it cling closely to rocks and slip into crevices.
