The agama lizard continuously swallowed two prey in Marakele National Park, South Africa, reported Latest Sightings on June 26. Kuno Stielau spotted the lizard tracking the caterpillar while visiting the park.

Blue-headed agama lizards can be up to 38 cm long. This animal has strong legs, a solid body with rough skin. They live on trees, unlike most unusual lizards of agama living underground. They point to the ground to move from tree to tree, sometimes to eat.

When threatened, the blue-headed lizard will hide around the trunk, keeping the trunk between you and the enemy. They will open wide, show off a pale orange color inside the mouth and perform painful stings if caught. Contrary to popular belief, this lizard species has no poison.
