Acanthosaura armata
Acanthosaura armata, commonly known as the trunk horned dragon, is a species of lizard native to Southeast Asia. It features a slender body with a row of spines along its back and tail, and males may develop prominent head horns. Adapted to forest environments, it is an excellent climber, often seen on trees and shrubs. Its coloration includes browns and greens that help it blend into the foliage, providing camouflage from predators. These lizards primarily feed on insects and small invertebrates, and they are valued for their striking appearance, though they require specialized care in captivity.
