The Most Beautiful Lizards in the World

November 9, 2021 by Jessica Meyer

Lizards are often overlooked when it comes to their beauty, but this list proves them wrong.

Sitana sphenodonta (Fan-Throated Lizard)

Found in India and Sri Lanka, the fan-throated lizard is not only incredibly colorful but very distinctive.

Agama agama (Thorny Devil)

This lizard is found in the arid regions of South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Angola. It gets its name from the thorn-like spikes running along its back.

Chlamydosaurus kingii (Frilled Lizard)

As you can see, this lizard has a large frill which, when opened, makes it look twice as big. It’s found in Australia.

Calotes versicolor (Fantail Lizard)

Found in India, South-East Asia and The Philippines, the fantail lizard is characterized by its vivid green coloration and bright blue dewlap.

Draco volans (Flying Lizard)

Found in Southeast Asia, this lizard is the only one of its genus capable of gliding. Its incredible colors are what earned it a spot on our list.

Pogona vitticeps (Reticulated Bearded Dragon)

Also known as Pogo, this lizard is a popular pet in the Western world, but it also has a complicated history. It’s found in Australia and New Guinea.

Chamaeleo calyptratus (Painted Chameleon)

Even though chameleons are well-known for their color changing ability, they’re beautiful creatures in their own right. This particular chameleon is found in the African countries of Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia.

Calumma nasutum (Horned Chameleon)

Also found in Africa, this beautiful creature has a very distinct camouflage which allows it to perfectly blend into its environment.

Pogona barbata (Southern Bearded Dragon)

Another bearded dragon which, like the reticulated one above, is seen more often as a pet. It’s found in Australia and New Guinea.

Chamaeleo chameleon Ch (Europeanameleon)

Also known as the common chameleon, this species can be found all over Europe and some parts of Asia. It’s characterized by its vibrant green color and yellow eyes.

What Makes a Lizard Beautiful?

There’s something beautiful about reptiles in general, but what exactly? Besides their exotic appearance, it could be how they seem to always keep a low profile. They are often found camouflaging themselves among the rocks, grass, or tree bark. Whatever the reason is, we can’t deny that lizards are amazing creatures that deserve our admiration.

In conclusion, lizards are definitely beautiful creatures, and we should do our best to protect them from becoming extinct.
