Psammodromus algirus (fam. Lacertidae)

[ES] Esta lagartija colilarga posó pacientemente mientras yo le hacía fotos y la hormiga (Camponotus cruentatus) se paseaba sobre ella. Me parecen lagartijas "dóciles", fáciles de fotografiar porque, aunque se asustan, no se esconden inmediatamente; si te mueves despacio, puedes acercarte mucho.
Es una especie mediterránea, distribuyéndose por el norte de África y el suroeste de Europa. Me encantan sus escamas "pinchudas".

[EN] This lizard remained still while I was taking photos of it and the ant was walking on its body. I think this species is "docile", they are easy to photograph because they don't hide inmediately when they are scared and they let you approach a lot if you move slowly.
It is a mediterranean species, distributed in North Africa and Southwest Europe. I love its "spiky" scales.

Timon lepidus (fam. Lacertidae)

[ES] Vi algo azul moverse en el camino y, aunque pensé que era un plástico, paré para verlo. Resultó ser un precioso lagarto ocelado que tiene la madriguera en un hoyo en el mismo camino. Su color es más intenso de lo que se ve en la foto.
Fotografiado con el móvil y los prismáticos a 8 metros de distancia.

[EN] I saw something blue moving on the road and, although I thougth it was a plastic moved by the wind, I stopped to watch it. It turned out to be a beautiful ocellated lizard, wich has its burrow in a hole just on the road. Its colour is more intense than in the photo.
Photographed with the mobile phone and the binoculars at a distance of 8 meters.

Gorgona Blue Anole (Anolis gorgonae), male, family Dactyloidae, only found on Gorgona Island, Cauca, Colombia

Little is known about this elusive (possibly rare) lizard, as it lives high in the trees of dense rainforest.
They may be threatened by introduced western basilisks, and other non-native animals.
Unlike most Anoles, the females are as colorful as the males, which have bright white dewlaps.
