A Fan Throated Lizard depicting its courtship behaviour and clicked in slow shutter technique
During the summer months of India, the western plateau exhibits a unique courtship behaviour by Fan-throated lizards. The males get these colourful dewlaps ready to impress the females by flagging them at a vantage point and also display territorial presence to other males. This happens in extreme summer heat.
