Agama planiceps

provided by wikipedia EN

female

The Namib rock agama (Agama planiceps) is a species of agamid lizard that is native to granite rocky outcrops in northwestern Namibia and southwestern Angola.

Range

They occur in Benguela and Namibe provinces of Angola, and in Damaraland and the Kaokoveld region of Namibia.[2]

Description

They exhibit a striking sexual dimorphism,[2] with males in contrasting orange and blue colours, and the females dappled and checkered in brown, grey and yellow.

Behaviour

In summer, males court females by running in circles around them while head-bobbing.[3]

Predation

The black mongoose also occurs in isolated granite kopjes of this region, and is a known predator of these agamas. The mongooses are most successful during early mornings on cold days when the agamas are less mobile.[4] Other predators include hornbills and rock kestrels. Up to 30% of the adult agamas may have broken tails.[4]

Agama planiceps

O Agama das rochas do Namibe (Agama planiceps) é uma espécie de lagarto agamídeo nativo das zonas rochosas graníticas do noroeste da Namíbia e sudoeste de Angola.

Distribuição geográfica

Observam-se nas províncias de Benguela e Namibe em Angola, e nas regiões de Damaraland e Kaokoveld na Namíbia.[1]

Descrição

Exibem um acentuado dimorfismo sexual,[1] com os machos a apresentar cores laranja e azuis contrastantes, e as fêmeas com padrões axadrezados de castanho, cinza e amarelo.

Comportamento

No verão os machos cortejam as fêmeas correndo ao seu redor em círculos enquanto abanam a cabeça.[2]

Predadores

OS herpestídeos que partilham o mesmo habitat nos inselbergues graníticos da região são uns dos principais predadores dos agamas. Estes tem mais sucesso durante as manhãs mais frias, quando os agamas estão menos móveis.[3] Os calaus são outros dos predadores desta espécie. Estima-se que até 30% dos agamas tenham caudas partidas.[3]
