Boyd’s Forest Dragon, Lophosaurus boydii, Australia 🇦🇺 #dragons #boydsforestdragon #austrailia #forestphotography #forestcreatures #naturephotography #naturebrilliance #lizards #reptiles (at Catalina Foothills, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXBolYIJOo1embEkxwb0WpzH_kKil7RInV6AnA0/?utm_medium=tumblr
We were thrilled to find two Boyd’s Forest Dragons (Lophosaurus boydii) during our day and night walks through the tropical rainforests of Cape Tribulation. This species is endemic to this wet tropics area of Australia so we were really lucky to see them. Aside from having unique and often brilliant colours, these lizards are amazing in that they can also evade detection from predators like pythons by cautiously thermo-regulating to remain the same temperature as the vegetation around them. This species needs air temperatures not to rise enough that it struggles to thermo-regulate or have the necessary vegetation to survive.
