Marty’s photo of the day #5095: I photographed this Boyd’s forest dragon on a night-hike in Australia. These lizards get to be about 20 inches long. Unlike most lizards, they do not bask in the sun to regulate body temperature. Instead, they conform to the ambient air temperature of the rainforest. As such, they are highly sensitive to temperature changes and serve as a key indicator species for rainforest health.
