Amazon wood lizard skin
Amazon wood lizard (Enyalioides laticeps) skin, close-up. The skin of a lizard, like all reptiles, consists of scales (scutes) of keratin, the colours aiding camouflage or warning predators. For the whole lizard, see image C014/8651. Photographed in rainforest at an elevation of 900 metres in the Rio Bigal Biological Reserve, near Sumaco National Park, Ecuador.
