I wasn’t quite prepared for this agama lizard to strike as soon as I hit record. The front-loaded action happens quick even at 10% speed as he lunges toward, and catches his flying prey before climbing the rock to enjoy. Agama lizards are primarily insectivores, feeding on ants, beetles, grasshoppers, termites, and other small invertebrates. Some species will also eat fruits, seeds, and even flowers when available, especially in more arid environments. They’re opportunistic feeders, often seen basking on rocks or walls before darting out to snatch up prey with quick, precise movements. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, 4K at 120fps.

Very Cool!!!
Thanks Karen. Always fun to see these guys.
Like the orange head and blue body, I think he is the secret mascot of Syracuse University!
Definitely when they’re in their orange phase. In red phase, they are known as the Spiderman lizard.
Beautiful creature & awesome footage!
Thanks Ruth. This bit made it’s way to our video.
