An immature agama lizard (Agama agama). This lizard is found over much of Nigeria, and particularly so around human habitations where it finds hiding places and food in the form of small invertebrates – some of the latter also attracted by human activities. Dominant males are part red and blue in colour. Although I have used the above scientific name, it seems that the taxonomy of the genus Agama is currently under review. Ibadan, May 1964.
