Boyd’s forest dragons are a type of lizard which live in the tropical rain forests of North Queensland in Australia. They often hang on the side of tree trunks waiting for a passing insect to eat. If you try to photograph them in the wild, they tend to move around the tree trunk away from you and so can sometimes be hard to photograph, but this one in captivity seems to enjoy being in the limelight.
