Tenerife Lizard Hatchling

Gallotia galloti (hatchling)

Tenerife Lizard Hatchling

Tenerife Lizard hatchlings shelter among rocks, leaf litter, and low vegetation in the dry, sunny habitats of Tenerife. They feed chiefly on tiny insects and other small invertebrates while staying alert for birds and larger lizards. Their striped brown colouring helps them disappear against the ground, and a sudden dash is their main defense.
