Always fun to photograph these guys scurrying around outside our tents in Kenya’s Samburu National Reserve. Male agama lizards are most colorful during breeding season, with a bright red or orange head, dark blue body, and tail. They are agile climbers and can often be seen basking on rocks or walls before darting away at the slightest movement. These lizards feed mainly on insects, using quick bursts of speed and their excellent vision to catch prey. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 220, f/6.3 at 1/320th of a second.
